bolt Stripping dilemma...
I'm in the middle of my engine removal project and right now, one bolt is preventing me from removing my engine. The oil backet bolt on the driver side kept slipping off when i was using an adjustable wrench. Can anybody tell me a technique and an exact tool to remove this without further stripping? I mean i'd experiment but i'm afraid that I would render that bolt useless...
Here's an attached pic if ya don't know what i'm talking about.

if this is an FD, dont worry about taking it off, just unclip the hose near the battery. If this is an FC, you have to remove it. Its something like a 29 or 26mm or somewhere in there. if you totaly strip it up and cant get it off, just take off the other end of the hose at the oil cooler. good luck

Suggestion to get it off??? USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Adjustable wrenches SUCK and shouldn't be used for anything unless you have absolutely no options (your stuck on the side of the road and its all you have). It doesn't look to stripped yet, use the right size socket and remove it. If that doesn't work (its too far stripped) use a big *** pair of vice grips to remove it, then your gonna have to buy a replacement bolt (vice grips will get it off, but will destoy it), I'm sure someone on the forum will sell you a bolt cheap if not give it to you for the price of shipping.
