Ira, Before you start cutting, drilling and other forms of mayhem, try using
the generator plate to exert some pressure on the bolt head by removing all the
other bolts and pry the gen. plate away from the engine block and turn the
offending bolt with a box wrench or socket and see if the bolt will catch the
threads and back it self out.

Subject: [Healeys] Stripped bolt
Generator plate leaked after I last removed it. Cleaned Right Stuff off, used
copper gasket sealer. When removing old bolts i realized the one above the leak
spot was not fitting right. retightening bolts and replacing weird one went
well. I hand tightened all bolts until firm. One upper bolt would not tighten
and now it won't untighten either. Wanky one was a bottom bolt. Any suggestions
for removing bad bolt? and clean up the threads ? Shit I'd just like to drive
the bugger.
Mr. Ira Erbs
