Three bolts came out without issue, the rest seem to have bonded with the block.
I can move them back and forth a wee bit but I fear stripping the aluminum, or worse, snapping them off. I was able to work one out about 1/4 turn but am unable to turn it back in from whence it came; It feels to me like I'm buggering up the soft internal threads.
Application is 2004 A8L 4.2 engine code BFM.
How to proceed from here?
Thanks... Mike
