Now what you need to do is get something like this
Irwin Bolt-Grip Extractors/Expanders — 5-Pc. Set | Multi-Drive Specialty Sets| Northern Tool + Equipment
I just did a fast search online, there are much better products out there, but you get the idea. Use that to remove the damaged bolt. A lot of people strip this bolt because the only deep socket in their set is 12 point. Remember to use a 6 point socket!
Let us know how it goes! Good luck! |
That tool that you posted is what I had to use to fix an exhaust shops mistake. I took it somewhere to get my HFC's installed and they told me they couldnt get it and didn't want to break it. Me and a few friends tackled it a few days later and sure enough they rounded a bolt. With that tool, we were able to get break it off.
