So, heres my situation:

I have a b18b i got from HMO a few months back. it appeared to be from an automatic. i was in the proccess of removing the 8 bolts that hold the flex plate, i beleive thats what it is, and now two of the bolts are stripped. i went to sears and got bolt out kit but that just fucked it up even more. they are really shallow bolts so i dont know what to do.

it is the 1 and 3rd bolts from the top that wont come out. Should i just try to drill it out?

HELP PLEASE

 

anyone else have this problem?

 

grind the head of the bolt off, finish removing the flexplate, and use a pair of vicegrips to turn the bolt out

 

youve done this before and it has worked?

 

that method will work, just make sure you don't grind the head off too far in that the vise grips can't grip it

 

ok ill try that thanks

 

Works fine. I did ther same thing a couple of weeks ago. Note to self. REMOVE WITH BREAKER BAR ,NOT IMPACT.

 

sounds great, hopely ht has help you
