I was taking out engine tin and one screw just won't budge. It's the one over the cylinder#3 and under the intake pipe. It has 3 spade connectors for grounding harness under it. Is it safe to drill it out?
Thanks,
Mike.
Full Version: One engine tin screw is stuck
Try a penetrating fluid first...then hit it with a heat gun. Bet it'll budge then.

I agree with tool above.
When you put it back together, install the ground lug plate under the appropriate case through bolt, where it belongs.

Thank you guys. The screw is out. It took 2 people turning at the same time: 1 w/ vise grips and 2 w/ big screwdriver. I'm gonna anti-seize the crap out of this car when I put it back together.
