Well you better get them cleaned out real well, they are an 8mm Hex Bit, (Allen) if they strip out, don`t stress, the two little one`s on either side of the rubber engine mount are what actually holds the engine to the body. those are a 6mm Hex Bit, and clean them out really well too to seat the Bit.

Use a 6mm Allen wrench the you cut off the "L" part short to fit in the hole. a paint t remove but will work.

If the 8mm strip, after the engine is removed, remove the Aluminum arms and put in a Vice and drill out the head. Or maybe a Socket of the right size may be able to be pounded on to the head.

Have fun, just went through this R&R Eng/Trans and later R&R a Transmission.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
