Minor issue with installing fuel pump

I tried installing my walbro 255lph fuel pump, but when i tried taking the stock one out, i cant seem to get the one screw thats farthest under the metal frame undone. (screw closest to the front of the car) i think it may have a stripped head or something.

any suggestions on how i can get it off?

If you cant get it undone with either a wrench or a socket, try a pair of vise grips and if all those fail, go to sears and buy a set of their Craftsman Bolt-Out! They arent cheap, but down the road they will be the most handy item and your tool box and probly save you from alot of swearing and wasted time!

Here is a link to one of the sets they have! Just go to sears or a hardware store and find a set with the size you need, I believe an 8mm!

2nd that. Was my LAST resort on removing a chewed-beyond-recognition flywheel bolt, sonofagun backed right out with the bolt out socket!
