I was taking my headers off this morning and i got 5 of the nuts off and once i got to the 6th it was partially rounded

i cant get it off because its on too tight to take off with pliars and a torque wrench or any wrench for that matter just spins around it since it is somewhat rounded

anyone know how to take it off?!

i need to get it off to put my new headers on

 

you drive a 4banger it takes 1 count it 1 header, not headers

it sounds like you need to go to pepboys and get easy off wrench set for damaged and stripped nuts and bolts

craftsman sells them to

its a special kind of socket that cuts into the head

 

yeah yeah go ahead and "flame" me cuz i added an "S" at the end, SORRY!

and is this easy off wrench going to damage anything?

 

how much do those sockets cost they sound like they'll come in handy.. haha that ""headerS"" flame is soo old now.. i uno who really cares we understand what there say but .. oh well

 

You will have to get a new nut but it's recommended that you replace them anyway.

 

should i just get a nut from the local hardware store or what?

 

yeah i know about the flamage but i had to

it will damage the bolt/nut FUBAR but like said up top it is recomended to change them anyway

i would get them from honda there like .50 cents a piece

i got a whole set from sears/hardware from craftmans for 60$ i think but it only comes with 10mm to 17mm

the most common sockets used

 

thats not a bad price

good news is i gto the nut free though, my step-father came over after work with my mom and he used some tool he had from his service van and free'd it up (he's an electrician so i guess an electricians tool?)

thanks for the help guys
