seized bolts on alternator cover

(1/3) > >>

OLIVER1GEORGE:
i need to remove cover that covers the alternator but the philips head screws are stuck solid all four of them any ideas as to how to go about removing it other than taking a grinder to it thanks everyone

SteveD CB500K0:
Do you have an impact driver?

If not, buy one immediately!  Second most useful bit of kit in your toolbox (after the workshop manual)

OLIVER1GEORGE:
im on it, it wont remove heads will it otherwise im screwed no pun intended

MIKE550/4:
+ 1 impact driver, as you hit the head turns screw fraction every hit

a great handy tool that you will time and time again

matthewmosse:
impact driver, almost never fails. If it does either drill the head off, remove the cover and use mole grips on the remains or use a 'dremel' type mini drill with a mini cutting disk to cut a slot across it and use a conventional screwdriver bit in the impact driver
