stripped bolt on the intake

[f100fordtruck]

I have a stripped bolt on my intake, what could I do to get that thang off? I had to and i was able to get the other one off with a smaller socket and some massive leverage but i cant get the other one

[fordman]

you mean the one that goes into the head? or the one in the carb base ? or is there another one im not thinking about? maybe throttle linkage.

Heat.

vice grips, or grind the head off and deal with it when the manifold is off maybe?

[fordman]

well i have heard of welding another bolt head ontop of stuff to get broken bolts out before

That or a nut , just weld the center of the nut to the bolt with a wire or stick welder.
then you should be able to use a wrench or socket.

I thought of that to, I just need to get someone to weld it on for me, I have no welder

I have great luck with the removers (bolt out is what I think the ones Sears sells are called)

[fastEdsel]

I am assuming that you have rounded off the head of the bolt. Buy an engine stud removal tool. Place it over the head, or what's left of it, and the more you tighten it, the more pressure is placed on the bolt and it should come out. It has an eccentric that presses against the bolt head and I have used them on exhaust bolts. If you need more bolt to hang onto then you should weld on extra steel then give it another try. They also work great in close or tight areas. Good luck!

Id give it a shot of PB Blaster and try the vice-grips again.

[f100fordtruck]

i was in the process of filin it down when my mom told me to come in and get a shower, i'll have an update tomorow if i got it out

[oldschoolrods]

I have used these to get me out of a jam working on stuff out in the middle of nowhere. If you can heat it up a little then spray it down with pb blaster or oil and that will help break it free.

Excellent choice!
