Help - threaded insert spinning in carbon frame

Sinbad_NI · 2014-07-24 21:45:19

So tried to remove bottle cage tonight and one of the bolts has seized with the insert and the insert is now spinning in the frame (carbon). Haven't tried but I assume I'll be able to get the inset out one way or another. Does anyone know where to get a slighter oversize insert to replace it with or how to fix?
