Work continues on the SBC V8 914... Trying to take the Intake Manifold off the TBI SBC... Which has TORX bit (40) fasteners everywhere!! 4 bolts are stripped!!
What is the best way to remove these? (they are intake bolts so access to them isn't good) Do they make "easy outs" for this size bolt? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks, Steve |

Also for future fasteners, make sure you have exactly the right TORX bit. It's easy to pick one too small and that makes the likelyhood of stripping go up dramatically.
