My advice would be to spray some Kroil or what have you, then make sure to clean out the center of the hex head, then put a small punch in the hex and rap it with a hammer a few times. When my part arrives, I'll be doing some bolt extraction. |
Stripped allen cap screws suck.
I am replacing the tensioner assembly.
It looks like I have to remove the power steering pump because the pump pulley is blocking the screws.
Is this correct?
