I dont think you can use vise gripd on the headbolts, they are recessed in the head.
were you able to loosen it at all before stripping it?

yeah i was using a 6pt 14mm and it snapped which kinda stripped the bolt... and now i'm afraid it'll be stripped completely if i try again.
i was only to loosen the bolt a 1/4 a turn
the dremel the bolt idea is great! i think i'll try that.
anymore inputs before i do?
thanks!

Get the metriwrench set! Dont knock it till you tried it cause it saved my *** a few times when the craftsman sockets didnt want to grab.

next time use a impact socket to take head bolts out. Those sockets dont give for anything and your not gonna snap em either...if you do your more of a man than i am
