Not sure what tools you have; my cordless drill has an impact-ish setting
that is good for this work as well. Keep at it!

If you think the slot you've cut gives you enough bite you can get decent
torque on a screwdriver/whatever you're using, it may be worth trying the
lubricant again. Put the bike on its side so the oil will drain down into
the threads, and use a penetrating oil like pb blaster/boeshield/wd40 if

use something besides a screw driver? like a wrench with a slotted
socket? that could give you more leverage. if you can get a small hole,
a torx driver could give you more grip, and same deal with leverage. since

A hair dryer might give you enough heat to make a difference.
Thanks for the drill guide tip, John. I'll definitely use that in the
future.

Hello Ryan,
The problem with trying to drill out a hole and using a big enough easy-out
bit to be effective is getting the hole centered. Easy concept, but hard to
do in reality since the drill bit wants to wander from center until it
grabs. Solution, create a guide for the drill bit so that it
Thanks all for your suggestions! I really appreciate it. I did work on
this over the weekend, but unfortunately could not get it out. At first, I
tried the slotting method - using a Dremel tool to cut a small slot in
bolt, which I successfully did. I also added some lube and let it sit

Ryan -Oh yeah - been there, done that!Here's one more trick you can
try that I've had success with. Start with lube as suggested (maybe lay the
frame on its side so gravity can promote penetration of the lube). Apply
some "gentle heat" with something like a hair blow dryer. After the lub
I did something similar with my 2020 Matthews: overtorqued a dry screw
holding a front lowrider to the fork leg boss, and snapping the head off,
leaving <1/8" of the shaft protruding. It was just barely enough to grab
securely with needle-nose vise grips and with liberal applications of spray

Agreed. Cutting off the existing cable stops and putting a clamp-on solution is
the quickest/cheapest/dirtiest fix.
Once you've done that, a frame builder could sand the area and braze-on DT
bosses in a few minutes. Assuming you don't care about the paint, it's a
trivial fix for a competent bui
Mmmmhh!

That's the approach I highly recommend: taking sharp cutting tools (even
better, power tools) to a nice frame.
Seriously -- Steve Palincsar's opinion notwithstanding (hiya, Steve!) --
it's not hard to remove cable housing stops; I've done so several times,
successfully. Use a Dremel to cut and smo
