What is the name of the part so I can order another one? (Hopefully they have some made of harder steel.) https://imgur.com/a/JT76Qog That is a standard "Internal Wrenching Bolt" and is probably available at your nearest Ace Hardware store in the Metric area. Tom should go into a specialty fastener store (or just a good hardware store) and ask for an "Internal Wrenching Bolt." Please report back on the look on the proprietor's face. The proper terminology is "one of them there thangs" :-) -- Cheers, John B. I worked at a mine and one day a guy came into the tool crib and asked for a part. His description of the part. "The whatcamacallit that fits on the doohickey that goes on the thingamajig." I was amazed that the guy in the tool crib handed him the part he needed. Apparently that part broke frequently. A lot of times, not knowing the terminology of bicycle things makes it very difficult for those who'd like to help a person with the questions. Cheers Old car parts guys are/were much the same. You'd walk in the door with this grotty, broken, dirty, hunk of iron, and the guy would look up and, from across the room, say "Oh Yes, front steering knuckle on the 1937 pickup". "Charley! There is one on shelf 113/B". -- Cheers, John B. That just happened to me Saturday. "I've looked everywhere for..."
