Ok so i finally got the crank bolt off and now i'm workin on the tensioner bolt which is rediculously stripped from the previous owner (b18B 95 civic boosted) and this is what i've tried:

14mm socket bolt extractor
drill and tap (hammered it, drilled deeper, everything)
vice grips
and i'm still left with a striped bolt and twice as mad

The LAST thing i can think of is getting a 13mm bolt extractor and hammering the damn thing on there cuz i already bought a new bolt... good idea or no?
its getting to be crunch time because i'm moving in less than a week about 80 miles away so i need it done like.. tomorrow!

 

ummmm i dont think you wanna hit that tensioner or it could end up busted and ull waste more time waiting for tomorrow to come around so you can visit honda. my buddy had the same problem and we used the next size up wrench and slipped it on diagnally to it was binding and got it off... just an idea.

 

hmm i think i'll try that too.. i have another tensionor set up too, the motor is dropped to the ground right now (dont ask why i didnt pull it out because i have no god damn clue why i didnt take the easier route)

 

well get that bad boy up so you have a better angle and can work on it easier.... might solve all your problems.

 

i only dropped one side and left the tranny attatched. so you mean raise it as high as i can? like above the fender? it sounds like a better idea cuz its raining like hell here and with only doin this in my driveway its gettin pretty damn wet and cold

 

well hell yea why lay on the wet ground when you could be standing? lol. i have found i have greater success of working on things at standing lavel rather than laying or bending over. easier on the body too.

 

haha true, alright thanks alot man i'll try this **** out tomorrow i'm too mad sober and wet to go out right now.. i'll post a pic of how messed up that bolt is tomorrow
