Bolts on fuel pump

(1/2) > >>

AndyBrown:
Tried to change my cam follower today but the bolts to remove the fuel pump are knackered.
The heads on them are ruined so the T30 bit wont shift them.

Any ideas how i can get them out?

AndyBrown:
Anyone?

Tortaruga:
Drill the heads.

AndyBrown:
Could I cause any damage going this? I'm absolutely terrible at this sort of thing.

murph81:
No offence but if you are terrible at this sort of thing, get someone who is a bit more confident to do it.

You could order some new bolts in the mean time and get a decent drill, drill bit and vice grips ready to remove the studs once you have drilled the heads off.

Torqing the new bolts to the correct torque and a bit of copper grease will prevent this happening again.
