Hello all, I was changing my oil this past weekend and ran into a little snag. The studs that hold the oil strainer plate to the bottom of the motor have been screwed in too far, not all of them just 3 of them. I can get the nut on but it is not grabbing much thread. Any hints on backing these things out a little? There is not enought room to get two nuts on or i could have done that to back them out. I think i may have to resort to using visegrips with a towel and trying not to ruin the threads. But i thought i would ask before i resorted to the barbaric act of using visegrips. And yes i won't back the stud out that holds the oil pickup tube if you were wondering. : ) thanks for all of you help everyone, jesse 71 fi squareback ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
