i finally put the head on the civic today. i put the timing belt on , it was to lose and i go to losin the adjuster pulley and the 14mm bolt is stripped . so i threw a 1/2 ratchet in the woods . anyway i went to advanced and they have this bolt out kit . do they work , or is there another way so that i don’t have to spend 25 bucks on this kit when i only need the one socket. thanks ---
