that lil ******* screw striped, now i can't get rotor off. it's the s.o.b under the cap.

 

just drill the head off, tap the rotr with a hammer. Once the rotor is off grab th screw with some vice grips and remove it, if it is rusted in place you can allways grid it do so it sits flush with the hub

 

not sure ur thinking the same one as me. u know cap, rotor, plugs and wires.

 

just drill it out...not a big deal..ive done it many times..and do what he said ^^^ up there

 

oh...fudge...forget what i said...im clueless...bump for this guy

 

damn thats a rough place to try to get a messed up screw out of, i have no ideas but i wanna find out what you do eventually, I would prolly just get pissed and get a new dizzy

 

I'm about to that damn point

 

I had the same problem. Take off the dizzy and stick a rag in the hole to keep oil from leaking out. Then you can either drill it out or get more leverage and unscrew it. Just remember to get a new screw. It's only two bolts to take the dizzy off.

 

true atleast with it off you can get at it easier to work on it, then if you can't get it, you already have the old one off so your half way for puttin a new one on!!!

 

You may have to break and remove the rotor in pieces, or split the base with a cut-off wheel. Then remove the screw with pliers or small vice grips.

you mean Three bolts, unless you have a special 2-bolt distributor ..

But taking it off is your best bet in getting the screw out,
you're just going to make it more of a pain if you don't.

Either way it's not going to be very easy to get it out.

 

with a hack saw, put a slot of the screw to make it a standard type screw. then use a standard screw driver to take it out, worked for me a few times.

 

that happend to me 2.
i wigg'd out! & ended up stripping all the plastic around with a screwdriver and a hammer
it sucked . but i got the job done

 

This happened to me a while back, I bought a cheap little tap and dye set from autozone for like 5 bucks. I drilled a small hole on the head of the screw, then took the dye inserted into that hole taped it with a hammer then connected the dye to my drill, I then set the drill to reverse and out comes your problem. Then I went shopping for a screw that was similar to the OEM screw, make sure it's the same thread type and measurements, hit up a hardware store....Goodluck!

yeah, sounds good, it's been atleast 6 months since it happened to me, either way, much easier to take off and deal with it sitting there then trying to get the screw out while it's still in there.

 

take a dremel with a small blade and cut a straight line in it. then use a flathead screwdriver
