Help!

[TheFlyingDingo]

I need help getting these things done:

Removing a stripped screw from this stick shift...how do i do it?
ive tryed grabbing it with a wrench

And then getting a stuck pedal out of a crank...Its been stuck for days, not moving. I dont have any powertools, ive used the hammer method, and i dont have a torch(Yet)

CAREFULLY grind a slot with a dremmel and use a regular screwdriver to get it out.CAREFULLY!!

 

[Markm]

...as for the pedal spray the heck out of it and make sure youre going the right way. Easy to get sidetracked...

I figured, that was my plan

i was just going to get it big enough the screwdriver can get in there

Craftsman sells a set of bits that will remove screws with striped heads. I gottem, never used them, so don't know if they work for sure. But, they guarantee they work. :roll:

(shifter)just watch the edges....maybe even put a little painters tape on the shifter housing...good luck!! :mrgreen:

I shouldve said grandma
My grandpa passed away

sorry to hear that........but still ask
btw when you tape it use masking tape all around it with about 3 layers of duct tape over the masking tape(less chance of cutting into the shifter)

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Ill ask... should be smart
Somone in email told me to cut the head of the bolt off if the dremmel thing fails..take the face off and grab the bolt with a wrench

The tool is called an Easy Out. You can get them almost anywhere. Worth the investment, you'll use it more than you think.
