Stripped Allen Bolt (Intake Manifold)
I ran into a slight snag...
It seems I have a stripped Allen bolt on the intake manifold. Luckily, it is the furthest one back and most difficult to get to.
Any suggestions on how to get this one out?
In other news... seems there is also a broken 5 mm head broken off in another bolt in the middle of the intake.

One of my bolts on the manifold is a little difficult to get in and out.
I checked the threads on the bolt and they don't seem damaged, but is this something I should be concerned with?
Everything else seems easy to take out by hand after the initial "unlocking" of the bolt.

If you have difficulty with putting a bolt in (but it came out easily), that means the bolt isn't seated properly and the threads aren't aligned. Make sure its the correct bolt and back out and try again until it goes in smoothly. You don't want to cross thread and then having a bigger problem.
