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?

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..

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..
