Default ignition help

hey guys
ok so i just got a new ignition module the thin gray plastic peice under the dis. cap. I got all the peice out exept for the 2 tiny bolts that hold it on. Now i just got the OEM "special" tool to get these two little bolts out. Im pretty sure there rustd in, i dont wanna strip them in there but is there any way to get these out??? people are telling me this job takes 20min....ive been out there for like an hour.

-thanks
ben

if they rusted there isn't much choice, either bust them off or pull dizzy and use a socket on it, I've had do do that before

yeah try some penetrating oil, like I said sometimes you end up having to pull the distributor

im not sure what size the bolts are on the module, but what i did was take a deep socket and i ground it down so it fits in the hole on the module, easiest way to get them out of there with a socket
