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 |

Basic question. Why use Torx-head fasteners in the first place? Install space considerations? Normal external hex not good enough? Attempt to add a touch of M-B to the vehicle mechanicals? MHO, use a large grip surface on a threaded fastener for best R&R success.
