[Healeys] Stripped bolt

[Bob Spidell]

WRT, the bolt not 'untightening;' are you unable to turn the bolt? Or 
does it turn but not back out?

Doesn't sound good either way; if a thread chaser doesn't fix the 
problem I'm afraid you'll probably need to install a helicoil (or 
similar) when you do get the bad one out.
