Stripped boiler piece removal
Greetings,
It is a plastic piece so I wanted to try my chance in this sub.
I was trying to unscrew this part in a combi boiler.
I have bought the appropriate 17mm ratchet wrench tool, but since the piece has a plastic head, it is stripped. It was hexagonal but now it is nearly rounded because of stripping.
Some info: No big tools go inside (narrow area). I can work with wrench, screwdriver type of thin tools.
I can hold the head with a plier but can not work on (not enough space).
So I will kindly ask your help about how to remove this stripped piece.
Thanks in advance!
