Well it did happen to me a couple times, the best way to remove the bolt without breaking anything is with a 12point allen head socket. You force it into the hole with a hammer, it works about 95% of the time. Maybe you know, but whenever you have a bolt to remove, knocking with a hammer on the s

*gasp* I'm sure this has never happened to anyone before : just stripped one of the allen bolts on my timing belt cover.. I could : a) do some fancy mcguyver work to get the bolt off, or b) rip the cover off and break it at the bolt. Right now #b looks real attractive, since the one that's stri

So I drive into my driveway last night, and I see a decent size pool of coolant where my car used to be parked. What the?!! I open the hood and there's a tiny bit of coolant sprayed on the underside of the hood right above the belts. I start revving up the engine, and a few little "spits" of coo
