I am just about ready to install my shiny new walbro 225lph fuel pump in my TII, how ever it is appernt that the car was owned by some one who lived on a dirt road for a lil while. So anywho, i go to take the cover off of the tank (the actual tank not the one on the floor of the rear area) and i can only get 2 of the 8 or how ever many screws there are holding it in. what do you guys sugest and what would be the best way of going about this? if i get them out there deffintly get'n swaped for hexhead screws. thanx in advance.

 

pics would help more

 

Drill the heads off? then unscew the shank with your fingers after the cover is removed?

Buy a screw knocker?

Buy one of those fancy screwdrivers from Sears that are made specifically for removal of buggered up screw heads?

 

try and use a pic to get all the dirt out of the screw tops, sometimes she dirt is so packed it looks like its all out but set a pick in the middle and give it a tap and i bet more will come out,

 

Take a look at this topic:

I had that problem once. I think I used a pair of visegrips, I still had a enough of the screw head left.

 

yeah, i think i'm just going to Jimmy rig it and get them w/ vice grips and or bore the heads off.
