Default Can't take a bolt out!
I want to install a airbag for my 93 civic si, however when i want to take out one of the bolts that hold the airbag (the big star one)...it wouldn't come out. So what ended up happening is the grooves on the bolt got rounded off due to me trying so hard...Now I don't know how to take it off?...any ideas, suggestions?

Buy yourself an impact screwdriver so this doesn't happen again.
