I have a 87 v10 I am saving if it wants me to or not. Thing has been a Michigan truck all it's life and used as a plow/wood/fun truck with 103 orgional on the dash.
I know that number is orgional because it had orgional ignition parts, orgional u joints, wheel cylinders, starter, fuel tanks, and so on. The thing has sat being neglected for 31 years being driven a bit then parked off and on.

So I just finish the rear breaks this morning and go to do the front wheel bearings/rotors/hubs and those 31 year old Allen bolts are set in that oem hub. Hub works great I just have a bearing going out and figured might as well do the rotors.

So I put my little Allen on the bolt and the bolt just laughs. Get my "high torque" Allen's where you turn your wrist and the Allen is twisting 1/4 turn and the bolt is not moving. Ok. Get my wheel screw tool for removing the rusted wheel screw that uses a Philip or such head and put the correct he bit in there and wack it and the bolt stripped. Time to ask for help.

Seems every bolt I have had to grind the head off or extract. But with these screws I am kind of lost in how to get them off I don't want to destroy the manual locking selectior it is the only part of the hub assembly I don't want to replace. Despite probably being dry the thing works great. But if that is the only option then recommendations on doing that right would be appreciated.



Options?
