N80Jamie Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Got into the process of taking my manifold off.. Just about to undo the plate that holds on the oil feed return pipe (i think) and found that one of my bolts is just about rounded. Heres a picture of what im on about:Is there anything i can do without having to get it to a garage beacsue i really dont want to fork out more money!Cheers Quote
Joshua.J Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Dude you are failing today how did it get rounded ay? LOL! Quote
1987glanza Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 try using a smaller multi hex socket, may work may not Quote
N80Jamie Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 I'll give that a try on Wednesday if that fails then may invest in that kit! The amount of times I've had to deal with rounded bolts is in believable lol. Quote

ajep91 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Cutting sockets mate there like a big reverse thread so as u turn it it tighten onto the bolt till it cracks it off! Quote
ajep91 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Go on eBay. Search easy out sockets..25 quid but there worth it Quote
N80Jamie Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Cheers bud, ill probably be getting a set of those! While were on the subject of getting my turbo/manifold off. I was having a bit of trouble getting the waterlines off. Got the clips off easy enough but just cant serperate the rubber pipe! Any easy solution to doing this? Quote
yaristurbo Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 gently and i mean really bloody gently twist the rubber pipe with out clamping on to the internalm pipe its self if that makes any sense Quote
