Try taking your socket to a grinder and making it fit. If you don't like ruining your "good" socket then just by a cheapy from kmart or something and grind that one. You can even gring flats on the end of it to grab it with a wrench to clear the carb flange.

How does one remove a partially stripped manifold bolt that neither a wrench or socket will fit around? I don't have any thin walled sockets, so I figure maybe that's what I need. To make matters worse, the angle at which the bolt goes in leads to interference from the carburetor "mount" on the manifold when trying to use a socket. I've got all the bolts out except this one...and its being a pain. Anyone have any ideas? Garrett in Central Ohio -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Need an answer fast?
