Work continues on the SBC V8 914... Trying to take the Intake Manifold off the TBI SBC... Which has TORX bit (40) fasteners everywhere!! 4 bolts are stripped!!
What is the best way to remove these? (they are intake bolts so access to them isn't good) Do they make "easy outs" for this size bolt? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks, Steve |

A left hand twist drill bit works sometimes when drilling them for an easy out bit.
