if there is enough to grab a hold of, try some heat and work it back and forth.
its gotta come out, otherwise the intake wont seal properly.Last edited by 88grandmarq; 01-14-2008, 09:45 PM.2003 Town Car Signature - 3.27 RAR, Dual exhaust and J-mod - SOLD 9/2011

I'd plan to eventually replace it, it can cause an intake leak.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

If you're really in a big pinch, you'll probably get by for a while.. but what a drag to replace that bolt later down the line. You'll have to pull the lower intake with everything still in the car. If you've got the engine out already for a swap, you'll hate yourself for not replacing it now when it starts to leak down the line.sigpic
