Re: stripped nut

yea chisel it off with a punch or something. A decent sized hammer will do. Or cut it off. Those heat shields will have you cussing up and down by the end of the day. lol

Re: stripped nut

punch and hammer, or cutting wheel or anything just to bust it off. Don't worry about trying to save it

Re: stripped nut

Small pistol and shoot it off.. anything solid with a sharp end you can use to knock it, hit like like you mean it!
