Help please... I stripped the head on an Injector screw!

There is a simple solution to this problem with the correct tool.

This is the set I own. Works awesome at removing stripped screw heads like shown in your photo.

Will, these screws seem to have only 1 fitment. I looked closely at the screws I got out and I didn't see where an 8mm socket would work, they are just round. This is a '79 280zx, unsure if this would make a difference.

Thanks again! BTW, I had to go to the store this evening, have some fresh super glue, going to try that in the morning 1st. Will let ya'll know if it does the trick.

I WILL BE BUYING THIS SET VERY SOON! Looks amazing, would be an ideal addition to the tool kit, even if this super glue thing works. I WILL be ordering this. Thanks for turning me on to it!

Your wasting time with that. Get the proper tool and be done with it You won't be disappointed. I use it both at work and at home and has saved me from swearing more than a few times

sorry, I missed this when I made my last post

No problem. It will pull that screw right out. You may need a extension on your cordless drill to get in there. set your cordless drill in reverse and go SLOW speed.

I use basically the same tool. Mine is a Craftsman ScrewOut.http://tinyurl.com/yu4kuubut I use it with the Craftsman 4.8 volt impact power driver http://tinyurl.com/yq7557 to avoid the potental overzealous use of a drill. Super glue?LOLLOLLOL

My wife tells me that sometimes I should be more subtle.

Naaa man it's not that. Sometimes the truth hurts

Sorry WingZr0, we know you meant well

Thanks so much for all the advice, on second though, I think I will be going to the Sears tomorrow, I have a few tools that need exchanged and my wife has to pick up her glasses, I will more than likely just grab the craftsman version of that tool and skip the superglue fiasco

I will post again tomorrow with some results

if superglue would never work, i've got some 2 part epoxy that would do the trick for sure. But using the right tool is always better

I agree. I plan on picking up that tool in the morning. I couldn't count the number of times a tool like that would have come in handy.
