You know the bolts that rusn from teh exhaust cam to the adapter that holds the rotor?

Well i stripped the fuck out of that...and after trying the best i could i had to pay a mechanic to come over and remove it for a nice 75 bucks...oh well...no i know how to do it...

He used some sort fo chisel and a hammer to hit it and dig into the bolt and turn it...its hard to explain.. Anyway try bagning a socket on it...although that didnt work for me...or even try hammering a larger allen key in there...

And only use quality allen keys that are socket driven...those ones that fold out in a set are crap...

And replace all those fucking waste of time allen botls with regular ones...

But you should be able to fit a vice grip on there no problem....there should be no clearance problems with the guide...Try also turning the nuts they screw into...because those have to come out anyway...maybe thatll break it loose a little...

ADA///M...let me know if you are still having trouble...where are you located?
