I can't take a bolt off my VC. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was about to remove the valve cover from the SR today to set the timing. But 2 of the bolts are not coming off. The stud isnt spinning, and bolt spins fine. It just wont come up, any ideas? I've tried vicing the bolt and pulling up while spinning it. No luck.

that bolt is either gonna pull the threads or snap in half.... if you can save the threads.... i suggest getting some new ones.. and installing it with anti seize...

i suggest you take out all your bolts, then helicoil all of your threads and get new bolts, i have a ka24de and my shit is hella stripped helicoil is stronger too soo just a suggestion
