What do you guys recommend I do for a bolt that (was already is **** poor shape) that I rounded off? I tried to get vise grips in there, and I tried pounding an 11mm onto it hoping the teeth would bite. I'm going to be getting a new one of course, but what would be the best way to get this one out?

A nut splitter. Avail at any parts store for $9.99.. Works every time.

 

haha, great. I didn't even know they existed. Thanks

 

I think the tool at this link works better than the nut splitter. The link is for a set, but you can buy individual sizes. Zoom in on the picture, and you'll see how it works.

^ is what i would suggest, even with a nut splitter you still will have to worry about getting the stud out.. start with the screw extractor and if that doesn't work then go to a nut splitter or grinder.

 

I finally get to spend that $10 sears giftcard that I've had for 2 years.
