stripped bolt in ve pump top
stripped bolt in ve pump top
ok well i was trying to install my 3200gsk and a new fuel shut off solenoid and got it all the way apart and was pullin the allen head bolts out of the pump top i went to pull the one closest to the cab of the truck on the back and it striped now i was wondering if u guys could give me any ideas on how to get it out
What you could try is to LIGHTLY pry up on the case and try loosening the bolt. Sometimes you can get enough pressure to get the bolt past the stripped threads. If it doesn't feel like its coming loose stop and drill the head off.
I've used the chisel method with good results....also used a small plastic hammer and a torx head socket that's just a little bigger than the allen opening with equally good results. Seems the aluminum reacts well to a gentle tap-tap.
