Just got to vent.

As stupid as it sounds I can't get the cone screw out of the shift linkage of my parts car. The inside of the screw is rounded out and none of my hex keys will fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Going to pickup a set of easy outs and try that, otherwise I guess I will drill it out. This is a good side shift linkage and I don't want to mess it up.

Its amazing how some thing so simple can become such a PITA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
