HELP! ABS torx bolts stripped - plan B?
My 1996 850 T5 is due it's MOT next month and the ABS module needs re-soldering (light goes out in v cold weather, comes on as soon as it's warm).
I've tried removing the unit but can only get the top 2 bolts undone, it looks like the bottom 2 are stripped and won't move. I've tried E5, E4, 4mm and 5/32 bits to no avail, even with some penetrating fluid (although they are very hard to get to) I've made sure the last 2 MOTs have been on as cold a day as possible in February but I feel my luck may run out this year - any engine management lights on will be an automatic MOT fail What can I do now? Any help gratefully received! |
Irwin bolt extractors might get it out if they have one in the correct size

Hi Liam
I am not familiar with 850s, only V70s. How easy is it to remove the whole pump unit (with the module still attached)? That would certainly make it easier to get at those 2 bolts. Steve |
Hang on...hang on...before you remove the module perhaps reading the codes will give you a better idea of what's going on? It may not need to be re-soldered. Have a search in here for Duke1 and Luxobarge's recent ABS threads.
P.S. Rule of thumb...always remove the most difficult one first! 😂 |

Can you recommend a dingle, Luxobarge? I have one (v1.5) that didn't work with the 850 app
