Yeah, you can usually get them off using vice grips. That's how I got mine off, after receiving advice from Sterling. Good luck!

If you've got a friend with a good tap and die set you could put some threads back on it and use a different size bolt.

Pretty sure he is talking about the banjo bolts on the inlet/outet of the carb. My guess is that he overtightened them and stripped out the threads in the aluminum airhorn.
