Problem changing supercharger oil.

[Btownmills]

Well, I went to change my supercharger oil and I can't seem to get the bolt off of the supercharger. I'm using allen wrenches and none seem to fit right. Does anybody know what other options I have?

I assume its a metric size.

Are the corners rounded? If so, it may be time to use an extractor.

Yes they are rounded. What kind of extractor do you suggest using?

It should be a 3/16 allen key IIRC. Make sure the Allen Key is all the way into the bolt before attempting to turn, you dont wanna keep stripping tools. Mine was a but tough to get loose so i just put a closed end wrench on the end of the allen key to get leverage.

Depends on the size of the allen head. I don't recall what size it is. Most large hardware stores should sell single extractors of the right size.

mine is a torx bit. looked like a Allen but after cleaning it up the points showed. i think it was a t-35 or t-40 not sure tho.
