Help!!!...What's the best way to get the vibration dampener off without stripping rusted hex nuts???Help!!!...What's the best way to get the vibration dampener off without stripping rusted hex nuts???



I use the 8mm triple square CV joint tool...

First I spray it with PB Blaster, and then I hammer the CV joint tool
into the 6mm allen, and spin it out with my impact gun.

If you don't have access to a impact gun, an impact driver will work
too.

It works every time.

I then replace them with regular high grade hex headed bolts.

I'm trying to change the timing belt on my 86 Rocco. 
I got down to the vibration dampener and the four 6mm
hex bolts that hold it in  place.  The hex tool will
only fit into one of the bolts due to rust and
stripping.  I tried to loosen the one bolt, but no
luck...I'm afraid that I will strip her out...not to
mention the other three.  Any advice here??

Please help Stephie must run again :)
