IS there a trick to getting the bolt that you take off with a flat blade screw driver loose? Iv tried everything and cant seem to get it loose. the other 2 bolts came loose easy. Its a 1994 Thanks

 

Take a chisel and a hammer and make a head that a flat head screw driver will fit into and take it out and don't have to worry about puttin that screw back In

 

Are you talking about the factory one that looks like a rivet? If so I had to use a chisel to get mine lose. Once you get it off do yourself a favor and replace it with a regular bolt. I believe the size is M6 x 1.0 threads and it's 16mm long.

 

I drilled a small pilot hole in the head and then used a hand impact driver with a square head bit. I don't want to talk about all the other stuff I tried before I got it out.

 

Ok thanks guys!! Il let u know if i get it! I dont understand y they dont just use all regular bolts on it!! They just hav to make it a pain in the rear!!!!!!

 

cuz they didn't want anyone messing around with it when it was new

 

i never coult get a flat head or a hex bit to bite. i managed to get a long thin flat head horizontal..ish to the screw and tapped it with a hammer and get it loose

 

Do u guys replace that breakoff bolt then??? Is it ok to go without?

 

You don't HAVE to replace it but seeing that a new one is .25 or so I would.

 

I found the easiest way was a t18 torx bit on an impact driver smack her with a slugger an off she goes
