Ok, i tried to get my fuel pump out yesterday, and i got one of the screws out, and the other 8 or so are just stripping. I tried liquid wrench, and they still wont go. How did you guys get them out?
thanks

 

I got them out with a perfect fitiing screwdriver, had to push down really hard while turning it though. If yours are now stripped you should be able to get some vice grips around the head and get them out that way.

 

Just use a locking pliers. Press down hard as you clamp onto them.

 

Search for "fuel pump screws" and my name. Been there, done that.

 

i tried vise grips, but the screws just seem to break apart.
i'll do a search
thanks

 

hammer/screwdriver..... place screwdriver on screw hammer the screwdriver downuntil it makes its own pattern (try to go as deep as you can into the screw) and then see what you can do with that... i use that as a last resort.

 

We're offering stainless steel replacement bolt kits for this so this problem is minimized!



Kits include 10 hex cap screws (two extra) and the hex key tool for removal and reinstall.

Is this on your site? I couldn't find it.

 

No, not yet.
I'm looking for the best vendor to get all the pieces from so the price savings is passed onto the buyer.
I'm trying to get everything ready for my Euro trip for hIGGI, so that stuff is all on hold. - see .sig

If you can hold on for a couple of months, I can take care of all of that then.

That's no problem. I just swapped a fuel pump out and half of the screws got like half stripped. I can still get them out most likely, but one more time and I'm afraid some of them will be done for

 

where can i get those hex head screws???
my screws are gone already, so if i ever do get them out, im going to need new ones
thanks

 

RETed... sell me!! thats exactly what i need =/

 

ooo double post ;x

 

dremel tool. get it in there and cut a straight slot across, then take em off with a flat screwdriver. but remember, sparks + gas = BOOM, so be careful.

ps it can be doen without blowing yourself up, good application of damp rags is a good precaution..spread em out around where youre working and just leave enough room between em to do your thing...ive dont it twice now..and im still here..
