Quick question guys. I kinda stripped the top of a bolt, the bolt that connects the hub to the rotors on a 1993 honda accord, if that helps any. But i remember seeing a tool once that i could use to take the bolt out. Its only the top of the bolt, not the thread itself. You can stil place a socket on it, but if pressure is applied it will slip. The tool in particular i was looking for looked like an emergency lug nut remover.



Kinda like that. But i need a 14 or 17 (can't remember). I'm wondering where i can buy this? I tried local tool/auto stores, but they keep saying i have to tap the hole and maybe rethread it.

Thanks guys.

 

you may try vise grips first. failing that, you can file off 2 sides flat and try again with the vise grips. never failed me. but I hove only rounded off bolts 2 times.

 

already tried that. Thanks though. The bolt needs alot of pressure to budge. We had to use a breaker bar for the other three.

 

sears has those, homedepot too i think

 

Yea, I remember those bolts when i replaced the rotors on my 4th gen a while back. I ended up going to a tire shop and had one of the guys put an impact gun on them. Cost me only $2 for each hub/rotor. Dunno if that's an option for you, but if all else fails, take it to a tire place and have them do the work for you.

 

Go buy some extractors? Vary from the easy out variety, to the ones that you turn clockwise to get to bite/cut their way into the head, then turn counter clockwise to twist it out... blah blah. They make tools for this kinda thing

 

Use some WD40?
