Default Newbie question

sorry guys that i keep posting theses questions, but i need to know what size i will need to get from sears, i stripped my lca bolt that connects to the hub on the rear lower control arm and i can't get a 14mm to fit on their and i tried hammer on a 13mm but im getting tired.

So i want to buy a bolt out kit and i want to know what size's should i be looking to get at sears for a bolt out kit, because they only have a whole set that comes with 10-13 or 14-16mm and i don't wanna waste money.

vise grip is probably your best bet.

The head is a fourteen but i believe the thread thickness is a 12. You want to use one that is closest to the thickness of the thread part but still being smaller. I would get the 10-13 set. Im pretty sure the 14-16 will be too big.

Unless it is the ones that look like sockets and then in that case you need the same size as the head of the bolt.

^^^^ Yeah get those. My friend has them and they work really well. You will need a set that is the same size as what the head on the bolt used to be.

These work well too but take a lot more time http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...2&blockType=G2

These wrenches are good too but they wont take everything out. If it is hella stripped they will slip too unlike the bolt outs but the wrenches come in handy a lot.http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...4&blockType=G4
