So i got my new strut tower bar into and i started wrenching away, and i thought it would only take about 10 min to do, but when i got to one of the 3 bolts one was rounded off, anybody have some tips how to get a rounded bolt off? thanks

 

at work, i hammer the hell out of the head of the bolt to try to flatten out the edges and maybe get some semblance of a bolt head back, then hammer the socket onto the bolt so its nice and tight, push down while wrenching. also heat, if you have it (like a small propane torch)

 

yeah well i tinkered around with it and now its round, so i dont think the hammer thing will work

 

Vise grips, get them SOOO tight that you can barely lock them, heat also works wonders!

 

Also, this won't help your situation since it is a nut, but I wanted to add this tip because it has saved my **** in the past...... On stuck/damaged/broken bolts heat the part and put the easy-out or stuck bolt remover in the freezer for 20 minutes, then work quickly, trust me, snapping an easy-out inside a stuck bolt is no fun, those things are imposible to drill!

 

Ill give it a try thanks!

 

dont even attempt this with a propane torch !!! i assume its a nut, just grab some vise grips, get them set up so you can just lock them on the nut, then remove em, heat it up with a TORCH, slap the vise grips on there and spin her off
