However a suggestion for stripped bolts...I have at times used a punch and hand-sledge and tapped the stripped bolt inward a bit. Then I tighten up the bolt a bit. This can cause the stripped threads to recut. Then I would perform the "torch and Liquid Wrench" action. Then after the 1/2 hour I could then back out the bolt. This "hammering" trick doesn't always work however. I would say for me the "hammering" trick only worked 50% of the time.

Well Im not usre if the threads are stripped or the bolt head is just rounded out. I will have to check that when I get a shop to put it up on a lift to look at it. Im thinking the bolt never even turned for them.
