    k i'll try that...

    if it doesnt work take it to a shop, let them break the plug off in side the head, then there responsible for the damage not u. its a fucked up idea but its better then u breaking it off and have to get a new head or have the machine shop drill out the old plug and retap the head. who knows maybe the shop will be able to get them out with out damaging anything.
    that what i though LOL

    pb is the shizz, been using it for stubborn bolts and girlfriends for years!!!

    to strip it usually happens when you put them in wrong and cross thread the head, usually.
