I am trying to take my timing chain cover off but the head of one of the allen bolts is stripped i guess by the previous owner. The inside of it is completly round. How should i try to get it out?
I tried the vice grips and cutting a slot in it and I couldn't get it loose. Would heating it up help?
Stick with it, ive used, whacking it with a hammer, some spray,more whacking, spray, a little conentrated heat, and good vise grips. Not cheap ones, good name brand, appropriate sized(not to big not to small), and if you get it to budge 1mm even, then go back the oppisite way, and wiggle it back and forth.
lmao!!when you cant just screw it whacking it usually gets the job done!
i ran into a similar situation,i tried all the above, in addition i broke an e-z out (that really pissed me off)in the e'ffin screw.this guy has a machine shop in gardena, cal.he has the equiptment & know how to get it done. it was cheaper to pay him to do it than to buy a new part, he did it without messing up the threads.So let me get this staight if I cant screw it, whackit if i cant do either call jim and hell do it for me.......What kind of racket are you running here?
