Hello all,

Was trying to remove the injector covers from the fuel rails and the screws would not budge.

I sprayed the bolts with PB Blaster and let it soak for 15-20 minutes and gave it another try but still some were stuck. I sprayed them down again and waited for another 20-30 minutes and tried to get them out one more time, this let to the screw getting stripped. At this point I just used pliers to unscrew them, which worked.

Now this was done on spare fuel rails so I didnt really care if the screw got stripped. But whnen I tried to remove the screws from the injector covers on my car, I could not budge them at all

Do I need a certain size screwdriver? If all else fails I will just use pliers and replace the bad screws with the good ones from the extra rails.

Thanks

 

Yeah, I had to use vise grips to get the screws out. You're probably best off getting some hex head bolts and replace the screws.

 

NO ur best bet is an impact screw driver...i tried and tried, bought an impact driver and out with one hit of the hammer

 

I will give that a try

 

You can not live without a hammer and an impact screwdriver,A must have if you work on motorcycles . If you need the rail milled for 850s just send it on .I replace the screws with ss allenheads when I have them .

 

Try wearing a glove and make sure your using the right size screw driver. The difference between a #2 and #3 make a huge difference in undoing a stuck screw even though both fit.
