stripped screws
okay, i went to adjust my headlights and the screws/nuts were stripped. even trying pliers they were too tight to move. any suggestions?

Try the tool that Sears sells for extracting stripped screws, can't think of the name of it right now.

That won't work for what he's doing.
Use a light oil to lube the screws, especially where the go through the blocks. Let it sit for at least an hour, then use a torx bit to try to break them free. You may have to buy the proper tool. If they are too bad, after lubing, just bite the bullet, and use vise-grips to turn them. |
