Question For Bootfitters...

[mcwatt]

So, I stripped both of the top rear screws on my lange WC 150 (go easy on me they were not exactly hard to strip.) I didnt really care at the time because my skis were stiff and I decided I didn't want them out anyways. Now, it turns out I'm going to be riding substantially softer skis this season and I want them out.

I haven't gone to my bootfitter yet because I'm in Chicago for another week. What does somebody with some experience think is the best approach. Should I just drill them out myself, or pay a bootfitter to do it for me?/is there any other options?

Thanks for any helpful information

Use a dremmel with a cutting wheel to cut a "phillips" notch across the top of the screws if you can. Otherwise, drill city.

thats a good idea...why not just keep it simple and try and make a a single notch for a flathead? Thanks man.

is the screw stripped, or the bolt (inside) stripped?

if you need to just drill it out.

Dremel with a ball-shaped metal grinding bit to the center of the t-nut on the inside. It will eat through the flange pretty quick, and you can pop out the bolt with the barrel of the nut still on.

Heh heh, I said nut and flange in the same sentence.
