Hardest oil change ever.
« on: June 02, 2015, 11:26:51 PM »
Holy crap, had 3 of the hex screws stripped out. Pain in the ass. Tried a bigger torx to break it free, no joy. Tried easy out, no joy. Had to Dremel a slot and crack it free with a hammer and chisel. Pain in the ass. Anyways, got all new bolts and an extended hex socket that way this shouldn't happen again.

She's happy tho.

Semper,
Invest in some anti sieze for those bolts, that should stop that problem.
A helicoil kit in 6mm x1 mm will cover you for the other great issue people have.
