500 alternator stator screws - five out of six are solid.
Seabeowner:
I have the Draper impact above and a Vessel one and use them on JIS and seem fine. Got out many stubborn screws.

If all else fails hammer a multi spline bit in and gently try to undo

I don't Grahame that's why I'm not sure what you are saying is bang up to date can you corroborate your statement?
I'm not sure if you know about the changes in JIS as per the article - unless your tools were made in 2008 it appears that JIS has morphed.
I will use my genuine Honda T bar purchased in around 1966 to put the new JIS screws back in - but are the new JIS screws ISO 8764 compliant rather than the pre 2008 version of JIS?

So today I have started polishing the Alternator Housing - my right thumb aches like Billy-O today from yesterdays Impact Driver work out - indirect concussion bruising.
I did 30 mins last night with the little plastic wheels/buffing mops in my drill to get the worst of the oxidation off. Today 30 mins with my coarsest soap followed by 30 mins of medium & 15 minutes of fine soap. Quite pleased with the result - just needs a couple more hours to reach my admittedly low standard. I have some age related marks that I will leave as a sort of Patina effect.

Coming on Ted, personally I'd remove those dents, they do nothing for the cover except make it worse looking. Should be easy to do with the abrasive wheels.
