[DeTomaso] ZF HALF SHAFT BOLTS

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Bob,

One of the replies from yesterday clearly explained your situation and  
gave a solution to get the bolts out in one piece with no cutting.  I  
don't remember the exact details, but you must get the bolt -and- the  
flange in the right position to wiggle the bolt out at an angle.  As I  
recall, the proper location was forward on the ZF.

You'll need to play around a little, but they -will- come out.
