That’s not a bad idea. It’s a lock nut so it has to be loosened first in order to get the screw free, so it’s kind of a pain in the ass. The torx isn’t a bad idea. I thought about rec welding an Allen key into it and just leaving it but I decided against that idea for now.
The screw doesn’t have enough exposed thread to get a good grip with the vice grips. Tried out needle nose grips and it was just spinning on the threads still. The screw isn’t replaceable and I wouldn’t if I wanted to, but the nut is replaceable so I might try splitting it. I would be very worried about damaging that screw though as it would mean a new steering gearbox if I did.
Yes we had loosened it about 1.5 full turns and then held it in place with a 5/8 wrench wedged into the radiator support and the screw is seized into the nut itself and nothing was getting it loose
Not sure if OP or anyone else needs to see this, but download JustWatch to get an easy to navigate app where you select the streaming services you use, and it aggregates all the titles and shows that are available to you to watch. It has changed the way I find new things and makes it super easy to search for where to find something I’m looking for.
