Re: [FWDLK] The Million Dollar Question (prize not guaranteed)

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.

This isn't necessarily a FWDLK question, but really  more of a general
engine question....


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?
