<p>No, the threads of the bolt are through the nut, so I can't use a
screwdriver with it. I tried cutting a slot into the side of the
nut so I could tap it off with a chisel, but there's isn't much
room to do that without cutting into wither the bolt or the
flange. I'll just cut off the bolt and replace it once the
transmission is out of the car. Hopefully that'll be the biggest
issue I run into on this job.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably have more questions
once I get the engine out and start trying to install parts I've
never done before.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Can you cut a slot in it with a Dremel-type drill
and then use a screwdriver? Can't recall if you could readily
get a screwdriver on it.

the process of removing the engine and transmission on my
1980 MGB so I can replace the cam and clutch. I've got
everything disconnected except for one nut on the front
driveshaft, which won't budge. The other three nuts came
off OK. At this point I've rounded the sides of the nut (and
probably bent my wrench as well) and can't get a grip on
it. I'm thinking of cutting it off but I want to avoid
cutting the bolt, because I don't want to have to remove the
flange in order to replace it. Any suggestions on how to get
it off without doing more damage?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
