removing a bolt (from an old evinrude)
wrote:
If you ground off the bolt head, can you still get the plate off? If
so, then soak it down and if you have enough bolt shank there, you
might be able to get it with vise-grips, gently wiggling the bolt back
and forth always advancing the the direction of removal. work it untill
it starts to snug, then reverse, then advance till it stops, then
reverse, but easily keep going forward with it, and when you take the
bolt back in, be sure it's still wet with oil.
I think once I get the cylinder head off, the shank of the bolt should
come out easily. The bolt itself can be moved. And I know that the
cylinder head itself isnt' threaded, so it must just be corroded enough
to make it damn near impossible to dislodge.
