Ouch, perhaps I should debate my decision on buying a SC kit. Hopefully threads break loose with an extractor.

If it screws out, I'd say use one of those reverse-cut drill bits from Sears. I bought one to remove stripped screws.

I think those screw out tool should work.

Nissan Plastic Specials.

HID's and no wheels. Hehe, it's cool though. Do you have any other mods?
All performance dude. I saved my money for a house instead of wheels. I figured I needed to see at night rather than have me wheels stolen while I was living in the ghetto, so I got HID's.

Brett,

Be careful when you use the exractor tool...

Since that is your oil feed line... you DON'T want to get any metal shavings in there...

Go to a hardware store and ask for an "easy out" we use them all the time to remove stuck screws from aircraft.

Gently tap in it with a hammer and use a cresent wrench or vise grips to turn it like you would normally to loosen it. It will come right out.

i'm thinking to fill the whole with something (?) in order to prevent that and use craftsman screw outs.. they worked pretty well on the fuel pressure screw but there was alot more surface to grab.

Just a spot of hot glue would do it, I think.

fitting came out very smooth.. no glue, no power tools... just a craftsman screw out in a socket on a 1/4 drive socket manual screwdriver.

WOooo hooooooo....

Thanks all.
