Re: Bad end of day with my 82

[Jeremy Salda <roccoguy@mac.com>]

I had the same problem on my Jetta, and I couldn't get a pipe wrench or 
vice-grips in on it. So I took it to a friend of mine who is a mech at 
the local Honda dealership. He took an air chisel and hit the head with 
it 'till it was loose enough to grab it with pliers and unscrew it. 
Ruined the bolt, but it sounds like you'll be replacing them anyway. If 
you don't have an air-chisel, I'm sure a good old-fashioned 
hammer/chisel combo will work.
