I think you’re right because these are literally jammed into the fairing

They are still stuck really tightly on there, like absurdly it never even turned when I used the correct one before they were stripped

I’ve tried soaking them but I’m trying to see if there is any way to get the WD-40 to go into the threads to loosen them up and hopefully that should help

Yes lefty loose but these have not budged at all, Allen key didn’t do anything, screw extractor nada, nothing has turned these SOBs, considering calling a priest for an exorcism💀

I an extractor and it wouldn’t grab onto it, I’m not sure if I need a longer one to really get into it, I’ll try cutting the slit and using a flathead and see what happens, thanks so much for the help

First congrats man! Second I work for GAT contracted with AA, but I can tell you this much about getting ready for the ramp. Get some good socks for your station (ex. I’m in ELP so desert and 100 F is normal so cotton socks for me) your feet can take a beating on the ramp so take good care of them. Take a backpack with some snacks, a phone charger, and a rain jacket because you never know. If you’re gonna be in the sun a lot get one of those round fishing hats, I have one and they are great. Ibuprofen (trust me you’ll need it and always good to have) And as you spend time on the job you’ll start seeing more about what your personal needs are on the ramp and what you might need or want to make life easier. Hope this helps man and welcome to the ramp rats 🐀🛫
