[decaturforlife]

Help!!! I losing the bolts and they are have way in. I'm try to move the cap back and forward but no movement. The nail and rubber is still in. I'm trying to knock off the old sealant and keep moving it. Us there any other way? My motor is still in the car and I'm on my back.

Pull the bolts out and put a long punch or two in the holes of the cap and wiggle it back and forward. I usually just use the bolts to wiggle the cap. It should come right out.
