RE: How to remove stripped engine mounting bolts?
There is 2 ways I know of to remove stripped bolts and screws
The way I mainly use is to get a dremel and cut a slit in the bolt and use a flathead to unscrew it. I had to do this on the chassis of a RC car I have to get the engine off after a screw stripped the other day. Another way I know of at hardware stores they usually sell a screw extracting kit for a drill and you can drill it into the screw and it locks in place and will unscrew the stripped bolt Last way I know of is to drill it completely out which is NOT recommended as this has the highest chance to cause damage and break the bit |
Another option, if the screw heads are above the mounting surface (not recessed down into a hole), and accessible, is to take a pair of needle-nose Vise Grip pliers and grab onto the screw heads. Turn it a little bit at a time, if you are able to swing the piers at all.
Oh, and post #3 above this one is SPAM. Please report it as such. |

Easy out
A small easy out MAY bite in the allen key hole to get it out.
