    At the same time, throw in a new crush washer. Read through this thread for a long discussion on this topic, and suggestions about using a nylon washer, or an old sparkplug washer, as a crush washer to help prevent sticking in the future.

      Use a socket wrench with a hex socket. That's what i have to use.

      here's a set from harbor freight

      oh crap they are stuck in there? Hit it a few times, that should work. Or get a good grip on it and wiggle it around. I had to do that for the hex bolt that screwed in my honda magna gas tank.
