I have a 1995 LT1 and i am trying to remove the rear belts....they have those allen/star heads and i went at em best i could with the ratchet but i can't seem to budge em.....how did u guys do it who have removed them????

 

I hit mine with a hammer a few times and it seemed to loosen them enough for me to turn them. Otherwise, try hitting them with some PB blaster. Kinda messy but it should work.

 

i hit them with PB Blaster at least a dozen times.....then i went at it....i think i might of stripped the head tho....time to go with the hammer to it lol and then if no luck....cut those basterds off lol

 

T47 Torx socket, on an 18" breaker bar.

 

Thats how I tackled it, worked like a charm.

 

I used a cheater pipe. If i remeber correctly they have some kind of sealant/sticky **** on the threads. I thought i was going to twist the torx off.

 

an afternoon and sum visegrips works too... thats the only way i got mine out...

damb torque rachet kept strippin the threads on the bolt

 

yea i noticed that... wtf is a cheater pipe? lol

i am having the same problem

 

A cheater pipe is basically a length of pipe that your slip over your ratchet to give yourself more leverage when trying to budge a cumbersome bolt.

 

basicly an extension?.... i have never heard that term before

 

It's a ghetto breaker bar

 

There is a post about this a few pages back where I outlined the easiest way to do it.
