Rep Power: 0 Striped Screw Removal?
Hey everyone, I have been wanting to put on my rear OBX strut bar for the longest time now. About a year ago when I attempted to put it on, I striped one of the bolts on the drivers side where the strut bar goes under. I was an idiot, and not thinking, I kept trying to unscrew it the wrong way with a bit with teeth. I tried to get it off today the right way, put WD-40 on it, and kept trying to remove it, but it is almost rounded. Is there anyway to remove this striped bolt?

Rep Power: 286 Bolt or nut? The bolt is actually part of the strut mount. If its the nut, you might be able to get some vise-grips on it if your lucky. Or if you have a dremel or air-chisel, those will cut it off. Just be careful..

Rep Power: 299 use a nut cracker to cut the nut or buy one of those gimicky stripped nut removal tools.
Hope you learned to use the right tool next time..
