Manual calls for a 1/4" ball allen socket for removal of allen bolts holding intake manifold. Rear bolt, although very tight, came out no problem w/snap-on allen tool. Tried front...head stripped. Tried cold chisel to turn on edge...no go.
Thought about die grinding the allen head but that's only half the problem. If I grind the head, the bolt remains and will not allow me to slide the intake out after removing the opposite side hex head bolts beacue the bolt remains through the flange into the cylider. Would have to cut the flange too. Problem is, not enough space. Thought about welding wrench to allen head, but not sure if I can get mig into the tight space.
Suggestions anyone? Help appreciated!!
