ChristopherEP70 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Made a start on taking the head off my 4efte and noticed one of the head bolts are rounded. Any tips on getting it off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The bolts are M9 but if theyre rounded smash a M10 in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherEP70 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I did try that only got a tiny bit of turn on the bolt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 What was stopping it? Was it just spinning?Try and mash an allen key socket of the same size into the headbolt with a hammer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm not sure if this would work ( seing as the bolts are fooked anyway, could you not weld something to them and turn them that way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Drill the bolt head off take the head of and unscrew the fucker bolt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
