Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Break away screw

I replaced mine with allen cap screws. And with a long t handle allen wrench you can get right between the lines. Really easy in and out.

I would love to know where all you members are finding the AFC screws in allen head. I had to buy replacements after loosing 2 afc screws out of the housing (long story) and I checked with the guy @ Lowe's before buying the regular screws and they didn't have allen heads

Hey stick, that'd be cool! If I could I'd get a barge and bring all of ya down here! (Each of you with your trucks ). Thanks guys, I'm probably going to have another go at it this weekend so I'll need to get those bolts first.

I love that idea! My breakoff screw was really tough also. I tried the torques bit route, and had no luck. What i ended up doing was cutting a hacksaw blade off and useing it to cut a slot in the top of the screw for a screwdriver blade, then I tapped on the screwdriver while turning and it came right out. I think the paint had it more than anything. I also believe you could cut the head completely off then take the screw out after the cover was off, just don't want to drop it down the hole!
