I am disassembling an AWD trans and I couldn't even get the end cover off. The first bolt was tight...great stripped I thought. Next two did same thing. I decided somebody must have put loctite on the bolts. Most of them came out easier with heat but not all. One of them stripped the head off completely and worse still whatever this stuff is the bolt is stuck in the bearing plate. A few of the bolts "threaded" out of the bearing plate. Some of you know this is a through hole. They didn't just screw out. I had to impact them out HARD even after I had already cleared the threads. Bolts are coated in some sort of light dust. They don't appear to be damaged. I haven't seen the bolt holes yet. It was so bad Two of the holes on the end case broke, I assume from the bolt stuck to it. Lastly since the bolt holes are mostly through holes this powder came out of the threads. Take a look at this stuff. I'm probably going to have to cut the bearing plate, There is no getting this bolt out of there alive if the impact and head didn't get it. I might be able to salvage it but I gotta get the bearing plate off.
