Re: CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brake lines
Autozone sells a kit that can remove stripped bolts. It comes as a set and used a ratchet drive. It has teeth tha should be able to grab it. I did something similar when tring to remove my belt tensioner.Originally posted by some_punk

You can't use the drum lines anyway. I hope you know that.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com "Mid-life crisis? I'm way beyond that!"

I did. You just have to bend them a bit, and be careful not to kink them.Originally posted by FirebirdGTComment
