Well he just kind of showed up. He was playing with a soccer ball in the street and it rolled over to my lawn, and he said nice car as he picked it up. A short time later, he ditched his friends and just shadowed me for the rest of the day. It was neat at first, but then he wanted me to watch his

Tim, if you get to the point where you *have* to use a screw extractor (sounds like you're approaching that point), use one like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006HHNKC/104-9734127-1604705?v=glancen=228013n=284507s=hiv=glance I've broken off several of the Easy-Out type in stubborn

Problem is, I can't get a drill in front of this bolt to drill a pilot hole for the extractor. I may have to go with the heat and penetrating oil method first. Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 10/30/05, Russ Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tim, if you get to the point where you *have* to use a screw
