stupid bolts
« on: November 22, 2010, 11:41:34 PM »

my bloody stupid jeep
The 2 bolts at the top of the gearbox bell housing joining the gearbox to block are the most retarded size ever. They are a m10 or m12 thread but the head is a tiny 10mm hex that rounds of easily and they are so damn hard to get to .
Any tips?
Im thinking drop the gearbox and cut them off with a angle grinder?
its a 4 liter cherokee
