Depending on what is around the screw and what would be left after the had
is gone, you could center punch really good, drill a small hole easy to keep
centered and than drill with a bit slightly larger than the shank until the
had fall off. The bike rack is now free, You now got to get the screw out
by grabbing the shank with players wise grips or whatever is handy.

Why did you use the one way screws in the first place?

What?! A sensible reply on Usenet? What is the world coming to?

That was my first thought on seeing OP's post- one-way screws are for public
restrooms and similar vandal and theft-prone locations. Why would
manufacturer supply those for a home-use product? Dumb to supply them, dumb
to use them.

Greetings,

Return it to the store. A couple of days later come back and buy
another one.

I don't think that is an option. That's why they had "one way screws". You
could buy the rack and take it out of the store, but you couldn't return
it...."one way screws". Nevermind...bad joke!

The answer is on the same page...Go and buy one...


THE UN-DO-IT TOOL IS NECESSARY FOR REMOVAL.
