How can I remove this stripped bolt?
Okay so I'm trying to lower my car even lower, (I just got some new wheels, and I feel like I don't scrape on enough ****), but the problem is is that the hex bolt is stripped. It's now basically a circle.
so basically if anyone has any ideas on how i can get that bolt out of there. I'd really appreciate it.

you can drill it with a right hand bit, then use a left hand bit to get it out and put a new one in. another choice would be to tap it and back it out with a bolt or something you tightened up in it.

Tokico Illumina + GC?
Anyway you can buy a kit/bit that will help you get that out like chillz said. Check out Home Depot. Another solution that sometimes works is getting a bigger allen and pounding it into the hole. If that doesn't work you can do the pound trick coupled with gorilla glue or epoxy but you will have to sacrifice an allen. Just remember to use the right allen next and that a hardware store and possibly GC will sell you replacement screws.

use a star bit. Hammer the bit into the "reamed out" hole and remove. This is the same method I used for removing damaged/broken header studs.

man i better replace mine. They are gettin bad, i don't want them to get stuck in there. It seems like those allens are a really weird size cause nothin i have fits them perfectly and i have a ton of allens.
