those should do it. I just ordered a set. When I saw your post I remembered that I bought a set to remove a caliper bolt that I damaged on my eclipse. Unfortunately, I don't have one small enough though. I forgot about the bolt extractors. Thank you sir

If that kit has a small enough bit to fit on the bolt. Use an impact driver with it. The type you use with a hammer. Put the bit on a small extension to impact driver. Using a hammer, Tap on the end of the driver, while twisting it with your hand. Should loosen up. I've done this with screws on motorcycle cases for years

Remember when all motorcycle cases had phillips screws and you had to have that impact driver.

If you didn't have an impact driver. You WASN'T getting any of the screws out.

I have a couple of those impacts floating around.

1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 drives.

My 1/2" one has the head mushrooming over from being beat on with a sledge.
