muscles they cant be on there that tight i have broken many valve cover bolts using an small 1/4 rachet

 

Snap it off then take the valve cover off and take the stud out and replace it.

 

pb blaster. if thats doesn't work bfh.

 

Tried breaking it with a hammer and flathead. Wouldnt break.

 

forgot to mention it the cap spins freely so i stripped the thread.

 

try using a screw driver to push up the nut while unscrewing it with a wrench

 

dremel it off

Never knew there was such a thing.

 

yeah it looks like a socket but its spireled on the inside to grip the bold ill get a pic for you if i can

here you go!

 

Still dont understand how it works.. I'll try google.

 

you just put it on the nut or bolt and turn it like you are going to lossen it and it digs into the nut or bolt and takes it off you will have to replace the bolts after you get them off

 

But if the nut spins freely on the bolt how would it work.. *scratches head*

 

Why nead a bolt extractor if the nut is only the size of my toe nail.

 

ow nvm. cut it off an get a new stud. lol. Or get a knife an wedge it under neath the nut an try to twist the nut off.

 

Just do like xracerhatchx said and use a flat head screw driver to pry up on the bottom of the nut while you use a ratchet to unscrew the nut

 

LOL i said a knife, i got to stay away from these kind of forums when im drunk.
