AGRESSOR pump frustrations:

[Riverat84]

okay guys, i have a full agressor pump w/ an aggressor droop snoot...i undid the snoot/steer/trim assembly all in one piece, and am in the process of sanding to polish the snoot, and cant seem to break loose the allen bolts that hold on the shifter arm...they look like they are fused in, and i have NO CLUE how to take them out w/out stripping them...does anyone know where i can go? where did aggressor move to again? pics to come in a few minutes...thanx,
Reid

Start with good penatraing oil... spray it on, walk away for 20 mins. if that does not work, apply heat to the part( not the bolt) it may bubble off some paint. if you can't get ito off by hand then, use a hammer or impact driver and gently tap.

WD40, heat, and a hammer. Hose them down with WD. Bust out the hammer and give the bolt heads a few good whacks (use a punch or something). Then tap the allen wrench with the hammer as you turn. No workey? Break out the torch. DONT strip the allen heads. Then its time to drill them out. PITA.

lol last time I striped out allen headed bolt I just took the next size up allen wrench, pounded it in and welded it to the bolt. worked perfectly.

maybe... might want to go pick up a impact driver anyways... they are pretty cheap and can really save your ass when it comes to sticky bolts.
edit....
here is a craftsmen for under $25 (http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...seBVCookie=Yes)
