It looks like a 6pt wrench should still fit over that, although its hard to tell. Could also try vise grips. And depending on how desperate you are, just hammer a socket on, and try to get it off like that, or go to a shop, pay em $5 to weld a socket on, and you can get it off that way.

I'm not sure if the bolts come with the new install.If so u could always grind the bolt off with a cutting disk right below the nut.

ehhh^ I dont know! what if I fvck up the threads...

no do not cut the bolt!!!!!!!!!!!! i have that craftsman set. i had to use it to get the lugs off on my teg that the dealer didnt have the key for when i bought it. use an open end/close end wrench to turn the nut off and you will have to hammer it on. so you may need a cocket to help with that. but they work good and accomplished what i needed them to!!

If your new kit comes with the bolts that slide in the holes, you don't have to worry about cutting it.

if you actually read his post you would see that he isnt installing a "new" set of struts but installing a trq dampner. so he isnt replacing anything. he just needs to loosen the nut and install the trq dampner. so your idea is useless because you didnt read LOL!!!

Hammer the next closest size socket on and wrench it off!! But a new nut and there you go

Civy is right I did that and I had the same exact bolt problem you might mess the socket up a bit but if you really need it off then do what civy said

hey guys the craftsman bolt out kit in a sense is the saem type of thing. except it is designed to grab on to stripped bolts. they arent too expensive and will come in handy a lot after you have them. its well worth the money to invest in a set

ummmm I dont want to f*ck up my 13mm socket.

My set only came with one of each socket not two or three.

Thanks tho...

Go buy a cheap one at auto zone. And a new nut. Only cost ya like 8 to 10 bucks. Better than paying someone to do it for you.

 
Rep Power: 313

yes.

but with the kit If I EVER strip another bolt Im good to go.

Im getting the kit.

Its just too good of an investment.

insted of just buying more & more sockets every time I strip a bolt...

No doubt!! I have so many bit and pieces of previous tool sets I bought so it is easy for me to think myway. The kit is great good luck bro.

same thing happened to mine, I used a triangle file and sat there for about a hour trying to fix the threads. It worked for me.
