well if the bolts are stipped your head isnt worth 350 bucks, it might be the threads in the head? or are the just stuck, have you tried to use a cheater bar to get them out, the only way i know to get a stripped screw out is to drill it out...

 

SUM BIG *** VICE GRIPS

 

no the head is perfectly fine its just the head of the bolts that are stripped out i have extra bolts for heads so if i can get those last 6 off i would just give him the head with 6 different bolts rather then the stripped bolts

 

Sears (and most autoparts stores now) has a set of socket looking things that will grip on to the stripped heads. I think they are called 'bolt out' at sears. Get the cheaper generic ones though.


Bolt out

Saves my *** all the time.

 

man this is a tough one. YOu could tap into the stock head bolts with a die set and then turn them out by drilling a slightly smaller screw. Just a suggestion.
