That is a simple fix, just take a dremel with the small cutting wheel on it and grind a line all the way through it, then use a big flat head screw driver to get them out... After you get it out replace the stock 4 bolts with 4 torque bolts.

 

The dremmel is definately the only way to do this. Watch your sparks!!!!!!!!!

Four words.....needle nose vise grips. Piece of cake. Go too Lowes or Home depot and get some allen head screws too stop this viscous cycle...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img].

 

ha ha! I see everybody and there dog has had this problem too!

 

yup


thats what i used on my airbox lid screw that was annihalated lol

 

Alot of times the vise grips wont work becuase you only have an 1/8" to grab and it is brass so it tends to slip off.

 

It's kind of late to suggest this, but next time get the best NEW screwdriver you can find, the sharp edges will grip much better than one that's been used a lot. Allen head or Torx screws are good replacements. If you can drill the head off the screw, and get the bowl off, the thread should come easily.

 

little late but if not stripped to bad, tighten a tad first then back out works for me most of the time, or the drumel
