S2000 propshaft bolts
Im sure theres a sinking feeling people will get who are in the know about this when reading this. Either that or you are p*ss*ng yourselves lol.
Trying to remove the prop shaft in my 2000 s2000 i managed to get the transmission side bolts off no problems with an allen key and spanner to add
leverage. But man oh man are the diff side brutaallllll. Im worried about stripping the inside of the allen headed bolts if i put anymore force on
them. Theres some minimal rust and the allen thread is ok at the moment (maybe slightly rusted out)
What does anyone reccommend? Should i buy an impact driver with an allen spcket to fit? Or get a larger/stronger allen key? Or use heat and a hammer
to shoxk them loose? I cant even use a socket cause they are round heads and ive tried vise grips but they just keep sliding off.. Anyone any
experience to get these off?
Thanks
Cal

I would aim to borrow an impact gun as this is least likely to damage the bolt. Give it a good soak with penetrating fluid first, and a knock or two
on the head of the bolt head with a hammer. Don't round them, I can tell you it ain't much fun if you do! Good luck!
