Re: (wants_a_sol)
While where on the subject does anyone know what to use to take off a stripped nut. One of the nuts on my oil line is stripped to hell and i cant get a socket over it because of the line itself. I need some kind of wrench to get in there. Thanks.

thats a five point nut isnt it? Just use a 4 point wrench. Might get a little better grip on it. Also, soak it with PB blaster, just to help aid in making it easier to get off since you already have a chore at hand.
The best bet for a stripped bolt is to just drill it out, if you dont have the proper tool to remove the stripped bolt. Drill it completely, then re-thread the hole.

Drilling is what i would have done. Luckily vice grips took it out for me.

Re: (Pikachu)
take a dy-grinder...grind a slit in the top of the bolt...then get a heavy duty flat head and stick it in the slit and spray some WD-40 and un-screw that bitch...
ive done this before on smaller bolts and it has work fine...youll wanna replace the bolt once its out obviously...but im not sure if will work on a bolt that large...
goodluck

That's not a bad idea for small bolts, the only thing is I'm not sure if you could get enough torque on a screw driver to remove larger ones.

Re: (TDReh2)
yup!! thats what we had to do on my swap.. made a deep slit in the bolt and use a thick screw driver to take it out. if you cant get enough torque from the screwdriver alone, then put a vice grip or pliers on it

Re: (jaxle)
Yeah, I have a set of craftsman bolt extractors, They work very well. I recommend getting a set of those and a set of screw extractors, and just keep them handy, you never know when you need them.
do the bolt extractors work with a 12pt. bolt?
