Ralph Werner Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Anyone have a secret tip for getting the 10mm Allen covers off of the inside head bolts? I think that the factiory welded mine on or else they are left handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichMaund Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 They are right handed conventional threads. They are quite tight as well as sealed with an O-ring. Use a good hex bit driver made for a 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet. Put a 18" breaker bar and 6" extension on it and carefully apply torque until it breaks free. Make sure your hex bit is in good shape and a good fit in the hex hole or you risk rounding it out. All you can do then is to drill it through and use a large easy-Out to remove it. You'd have to get a new one after that. Use penetrating fluid. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
