i cant get my dist cap because, 1st, i stripped the bolt(or whatever its called) and 2nd, i cant find the right size of wrench. what do i do?

1. would be vice grips.
2. you might be able to use a phillips head screw driver if there's one.
3. i'd use a chisel and hammer and start making it turn.
4. and if not, break the head off and scavenge the rest later.

hmm, will consider all. thanks for thought. but if i break off the head will i be able to get the rest of it out? cuz im thinkin that might be the only way on the stripped one.

when you get the cap off, the rest should just be easy to grab with pliers, vice grip, or such.
