Break Bolt on fuel pump???PLEASE HELP!!!
Hey, Im having trouble removing the 'break bolt' on the fuel pump. Im trying to slide the cam plate forward.
So far, I have chiseled a flat slot for a flat head screw driver (as was recommeend to me by several others). The metal seems too week. When I try to turn it, the edges get ruined. Im just wondering if there is something else I can try. If the head gets ruined, what then???ks,
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Sam

Take a small chisel or screwdriver and a small hammer and try to turn the screw by tapping ccw on the outside of the head. It shouldn't be too tight. If that doesn't work, you can centerpunch it and carefully drill the head off with a 5/16" drill bit. Once the head is gone and the AFC housing is off, you can easily turn the screw out with pliers. You'll have to get a 6mm (I think) bolt to replace it.

Thanks for the help guys!!! I finally got it off with my very own impact tool = Large Flathead Screwdriver &&& 5lb Hammer!!!
With the plate forward, I can notice a good increase in power, not the necksnapping that you would find with injectors or a new plate, but I never expected that
Thanks,
