I assume you will be using replacement bolts since these are in bad condition now. If you have an impact chisel, use it to beat a notch in the bolt, and then go in at a 45 degree angle to punch the bolt in a counter clockwise direction - loosening it. This always seems to work for me. Z Scott Norville <kr2no@EARTHLINK.NET> wrote: I have the Autozone brand of "bolt-out" or whatever. The problem is, the bolts are inset in the flex plate without enough clearance above or around the head to get one of these on it. I also have the kind you drill a hole in the head and screw into, but "screwed" is the key word whenever I have used these. Anyway, I don't weld and I need to get the bus back on the road so it will probably keep dripping (the tranny was out for rebuild). I might try hitting it with a propane torch and hammering in a bigger 12-pt, add some curses if the kids are out of earshot.... --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
