RE: help me
so after i drill it how do i back it out? it's the bolts to the TPS. i'm replacing my throttle body. after taking the IAC off i looked at the phillips heads to the TPS and i knew i was screwed.

Use a reverse socket to get it out

take a dremel tool cut a slot in the top and use a flat head screw driver.

Autozone sells reverse sockets that will take out any striped bolt or in your case screw. If it doesn't work usually They'll return it. (i'd return it either way save myself twenty bucks)
