so, the two remaining set screws i can probably drill out
the top screw on the oil pump, i can drill the head off

now, the bottom screw on the oil pump... uhm it's in the very corner... i can't really get to it with the drill
i don't have a dremel tool, so cutting a slot in the head is not an option - plus i cant really get to it with the impact driver either as the cases stand in the way

suggestions please :)
 
With all of these, you need to heat the screw to soften the thread locking compound, and then they'll come out easily.

I use a propane torch, although there's probably a safer way.

You can use an extension on your impact.
Just a standard 3/8" extension should work...if your impact is anything like mine.
That way the impact itself will be outside of the case.
 
Take a flat punch to the head of the screw to restore the original hole shape. then bash it with a impact driver, heat ect. as directed.
 
You have anything resembling a Sears store in the area?

Their tool selection includes a Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover. Not cheap, but effective. :D
I works like an external ez-out, it grabs the outside of the object, so no drilling is necessary.

the combination of the two above worked the charm and all screws are out now - so simple, and i've even done it before, but forgot how i did it :oops:

thanks guys!

Most people arent aware that you should have a few JIS {Japanese International Standard } phillips screw drivers to keep from ruining the screws to start with. I got mine thru RJR Cool Tools www.rjrtools.com. I have nothing to do with this company but the tools are reasonable and shipping is free. I bought part #s 8771 & 8776 for $22.00 total recently and they make a big difference

i have the screwdrivers, but not the special impact driver bits. mind you, size 3 ISO standard seems to fit just nicely to these particular screws
 
#3 is the size I bought, I forgot to mention that. That was for 2 long ones and 2 stubby ones
