One of my front end adjuster bolts is stripped and it ain't coming out. I tried every trick that I read after searching the forum.
I was about to drop the front end so I can attack the bolt from a different angle when I thought about removing the adjuster cap (torsion bar cap). Can I just pry this cap off with the bolt in place? Is the cap under tension from the torsion bar if the front end is off the ground? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

The great pumpkin had allen head bolts and they were locked up. Finally got one out after welding in a piece of allen... The other side got cut out with a cut off wheel once the cap was off the car it was easier to get a good weld on the allen and it came out easy.. ( I hate welding straight up and burning my bald spot... )
