Stripped Exhaust Bolt :-\

Hi guys,

In the process of trying to install my Magnaflow Catback I attempted to remove the bolts I manage to round the head off. I tried using the Irwin bolt grip and that got it a little loose but then stripped. Any suggestions?

A bolt extractor kit might work...worked for me.

It's basically a socket with teeth that grip the rounded areas allowing you to remove them...

Found this video to help you out. It's only a couple of minutes...some auto parts stores rent these kits out or loan them out with a cc on file.

Thanks for the advice guys. Finally got them out after 4 sets of Irwin Bolt Grips.
