You may have to remove the radiator and the shroud to gt the extra room.
Car not starting sounds like engine flooded?
i own a shop,and if there's anything you can remove to get the drill in to it that will help,,you can also use an angle adapter to put on the drill this will make it shorter,,i have had to do this a few times before,other wise you may have to lift the engine up on it,,these can be hard to get out sometimes,,this is in an area you don't want to apply heat to,so i don't recommend heating it up,,good luck with it,hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.I have a 1990 sunbird, my heater won't blow out anything but cold air any idea's.?
How about one of those right angle drills. We found them last year, after we got done remodeling the kitchen. It would have been nice to find them a few weeks earlier.Brake caliper bolts have seized, can't get them off!? Honda Civic 2000?
THey had them at Home Depot
How can I remove a Phillips head screw with damaged head?
depends on the position of the engine. If the front of the engine face the tire, try to remove the tire and get at it that way. Or if the front of the engine faces the front of the car first try removing the radiator, if that is not enough then try to remove the grill as well. And if that don't work... sounds like your either pulling the engine or going to the shop.can you get you hands on a offset drill,its a drill that works side ways,also can you get a pair of vise grips on it.
Try a right angle drill, you can rent one, stiill not enough room? try to use a punch, and catch a piece of the bolt above the surface, and knock it counter clockwise to loosen.
Car belt is squelling what I start the engine, anything I can do?
I just had that problem myself a few weeks ago. I tried a right angle attachment for a drill (my actual right angle drill was still too long), but even that was tough to fit. So I have two suggestions for you. First, try the attachment using a very narrow bit - and cut the back end off the bit so it's shorter. If that doesn't work to get the extractor in, you could attach a drill chuck to an air ratchet, because it's shorter yet. That's what I had to do, although I broke the air ratchet in the end.Now, provided you have a small pilot hole drilled into the broken bolt, start threading the remover into it by hand, and then use vise grips and a hammer to spin it out.
Best of luck to you.
