Tried changing the S/C oil...

Went out popped the hood and saw something that just pissed me off... The bolt on the top of the S/c was stripped... Took it to the stealership thinking they could just get it off and replace the bolt... They told me they are not supposed to service S/cers and that I'd have to pay them 100 buck just to replace the oil and that the bolt wouldnt be changed... So I'm fuming anything I can do for this?
 


You can go to home depot and get a screw remover kit thing. It taps into a striped screw and removes it slowly. It's like a drill bit but it removes screws. Then I don't know what you can do to replace it.. go try and match it at homedepot?
 
you dont need to put the same thing in it, just find the right thread and put a metric bolt in it and be done.
 
Does anyone happen to know the size bolt that it is? Btw I really hate the dealerships... buy a car from them and they d onothing for you... no loyalty anymore like my dad always used to talk about
 


if you go to home depot they have a little display where you can try and thread the bolt into various sizes. That way you can find out the type of thread, and then they can help you with the length. Then you should be all set!!
 
Alright thanks I will have to do this this weekend. I appreciate it guys. I managed it on my old Bonnie so I was very pissed when I saw this on the GP
 
If you place the thread of the plug parallel to that of a bolt the threads will fit perfectly if the thread is the same.
 
if theres room use a grinder with a thin blade and cut a grove it, use a screwdriver to remove it.i;ve done this a boat load of times, sometimes you don't have a choice, ya got to do what ya got to do.

i got a new oil bolt from the dealer.

I was pissed when one of my snout bolts broke off, got it out 5 hours later, then found that the dealer doesn't sell a replacement
