Bennett131 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 Get an impact driver they are like 20 bucks. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 Get an impact driver they are like 20 bucks. Probably won't work if phillips is stripped. Cut slot with dremal and use straight slot. Use small cold chisel and make slot. Use small cold chisel, make notch in head of screw (halfway to "edge") walk screw out with chisel cononsider heating case in area of threads. Quote
02Bansheeee Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 You could try vice-grips. They usually help me when something like that happens. Quote

They have flat heads for them too...and I've backed those bolt out using that method more than once. Quote
BUILDER Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 Get a large philips screw driver and a hammer. Put the screwdriver in the screw and smack it pretty good one time with a hammer. Then continue to tap on it while you are trying to turn it. You will get them all out that way unless you have stripped them to the point that they are totally round. Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 Order the stainless Allen set from mattoon for like 30 bucks for both side covers and clutch cover gasket. Quote
Nash Jesso Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah im replacing them with a hex head or Allen. Quote
sheerider11 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 Mattoon sells the kit. No guess work Quote
sheesfast Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 A big pair of vise grips should bring those out, if a impact driver won't do it. Quote

possum Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 impact driver ftw. It turns for you as you hit it! 1 Quote
RagunCajun Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 Use a dremel to cut a flat slot in it. THEN use the impact driver again to get it out. You can get impact drivers from sears and napa. They are cheap for what they can do and how much frustration they prevent. Quote
BUILDER Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 That is exactly what an impact driver does lol. Very true but if you do not have a impact driver then you use a screwdriver as described. I am well aware it does the same thing but every time I go to use my impact driver I can never seem to find the bits so I just do it this way. Quote
