I'm looking for a way to get stripped water pump nuts off. YouTube is usually good for quick little videos of others and how they solved their problem but I have not seen one that helps for this. The car is an E34 with the M50 engine. As Bimmer owners know the fan clutch and shroud have to come out first to give you enough room to work and that was easy. After 7 or 8 treatments with PB Blaster and tapping in a confined space I still have no luck. I have even gotten a Dremel tool with a grinder to create flat spots for vice grips but still no luck. The nuts almost feel soft as if they are made of lead. I'm about to give in and have the car towed to shop to have them do it. Any suggestions?
