Default Well one bolt came out for the crank sensor but......

the other one is stripped I presume because the only tiny little ratchet that can get a bite and fit in that space doesn’t move it.

Exactly why I didn’t want to do this by myself but got ghosted by all the people who are “ willing to help”.

Even 2 mobile mechanics I called ghosted me so yea it’s fair to say no one will help just like before.

What can I do about the stripped bolt it’s about halfway out but I still can’t fingerbang it out.

i unplugged my spark wires but I can’t take the air box of because it doesn’t go back on right. One of the first problems I had with the truck so a few friends of mine jerry rigged it.

Might be missing a gasket or something, you can hear the air hissing if you open the hood while the truck is idiling.

Can you spray some PB Blaster penetrating oil around that bolt and let it sit for a few hours, then come back and try to get it to move again? Also, if you have a ball end allen drive socket, that can help get the bolt out (https://www.harborfreight.com/7-pc-3...set-67888.html)
