This is one that has given me grief on more than one occasion:
This is used to hold a small cover on the transmission of my Sportster where you add transmission oil. Two little 1/4 -20 allen heads threaded end open to the oil inside so no rust or corrosion to deal with and at least half the time need to fight to get one or both out. Last friday had to drill out the head till it fell off the turn the threaded section out with fingers. SOB was tight enough to strip the hex out. I always put them in just snug but the taper on the head manages to lock it in the cover. This time I bought three extras so I was all set for next time!
