[QUOTE="James Hatch, post: 1025144, member: 71387"] Hi, Have already tried once to replace the gasket on my 02 gen 2, only because I smelled oil and can see the leak.. The issue is that I need advice on how to get a stuck bolt out? It's on the drivers side, in the middle of the cover towards the ending side. A very tight place and I don't have many tools other than pliers and ratchet set. I don't have deep sockets in 6 or 7mm to get on. If you all could help me out with your infinite wisdom that would be great. Should I try to bend the annoying piece of metal off and then try with my small ratchet to get it out that way? Have new replacement bolt in hand.. Cost me $12 Thanks, James [/QUOTE]
