Mike…
Could you illustrate where this happened? 
With surf rods bolts with groove or off the shelf shoulder bolts?
I don’t have a pic of the axle, when I finally got it out I threw it like a fuggin Olympian 
.
It’s where the set screw goes in to secure the axle. It’s that little slot twords the outside if the hanger just past the threads.

This is the 2 hex wrenches and hex socket I used, finally just used a vice and vice grips.

Dang, Mike, is the same problem we faced with motor pulleys and grub screws… best solution, just Loctite 680. In this case is blue Loctite. Incredible. The best solution in this cases is taking away the culprits and go with just the compound. In the pulley case, those grub screws and keys are irrelevant little gremlins that you need to take out of the equation immediately.

I don’t see how your hanger wasn’t fucked as well. I guess I am just that good.

I blue loctite the shoulder bolts in. Added loctite to the grub screw and just barely screw it in to cover the hole.

I’m using the clamps that @psychotiller makes/made for the SR TKP trucks. The grub screws for the clamp lines up perfectly with the grub screw slot on the hanger.l and it’s the same size… If anyone ever uses that combo.

sometimes there is a simple solution… just gotta look at things from a different perspective… metal can usually be fixed
worse case scenario… u could also throw heli-coils in there, i mean if spark plugs can use them why cant we haha, just gotta bore out the inside… OR if u really wanna fiix it, go to the next size up shoulder bolt, get a thread cutter not chaser and cut new threads

I can’t believe I didn’t think if that. I spent 4 hours last week using a 5/16 thread chaser on my Dad’s trailer, getting ready to replace the decking. I hated every minute of it so I guess I blocked it out

That would be cool. You would probably have to make an insert and tap the inserts, that what Surf Rodz has anyway.
