RE: screwed up crank shaft pulley allen bolt...

["Brian Honnold" <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

I just did this....rounded off all the allen heads trying to get the crank
pulleys off.  I eneded up hammering a socket over the end of the allen bolt
and then using the socket wrench with a breaker bar.

it's a little tought getting the bolt back out of the socket but if you put
the socket in a vice you can hammer the bolt back out with a punch.
