I'm trying to get the fuel valve off of a plastic fuel tank. It's on a Honda Foreman 4 wheeler.
It is held on with 2 6mm bolts. It feels like the bolts are frozen/corroded in the nuts that are embedded in the plastic. I can feel the bolt/nut assemblies slightly turn when I try to remove them, but if I turn any harder, the nuts will break loose inside the tank and then I'll have a whole new set of problems!
I can grind the heads off, get the valve out of the way, but still not sure I can get the bolts out.
Can't heat them, can't beat them as the plastic just bounces. Got then soaking with penetrating oil.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
