- Wed Mar 21, 2012 7:59 pm #299178 Hi I remember when working on my little brothers car that one of the bolts got stripped really bad and luckly my dad had a set of these Craftsmen Nut/Bolt Out removers.

You might wanna try these first or you might have to cut the head of the bolt off and then use a chisle or screwdriver to get the bolt through the hole. Hope this helps.

Here it is, I have one of these and its a life saver...
But if you cut the bolt head off you will need to extract what is left in the hole, which if it is in a tight spot is more of a hassel and pain in the ass...

u can get them pretty much at any parts house. it worked on my tension pull bolt among many others. maybe u should give it a try and it was only a couple dallors. u just need a drill and a hammer
