2 screwdrivers works unless it's been Loctited on. Then you might need a puller. |

Thanks guys, got it off and back on.. The only issue is the lower one wont tighten up. it just keeps going around and around. yes it the right size, I ended up using a special gasket maker goo, as I didn't have any timing seal gaskets... any ideas what I could do? it screws in, and when its about to torque up, it just keeps going around and around. Cheers Brett |

Not much room there to do in situ, but when stripped, I have drilled 17/64" then tapped 5/16" UNF in the past for a bigger bolt. I have a right angle drill with a chopped off drill bit.

Cheers Brett that one is a bugger because there's not much room behind it, but you can use a longer bolt and a nut on the other side - one of mine is like that, except it's the top one at the back so bolt length doesn't matter you might be able to grind down a nut to fit in the gap |
