removing a stripped hex

With a dremel tool you can cut slot in the head and then use a flat head screw driver. Or there are tools you can buy called screw extractors.

I use the screw extractor it works great.

thanks???

I have a dremel ...if I try that first and fail... will this extractor still work? ...where can I get one?

Most hardware stores like lowes and home depot. May can even find one at walmart. Sears craftsman makes a set if them i bought a few years ago. 3 sizes in a plastic carry storage case fits in hand. They are also called EASY OUT bits.

At advance auto parts but any auto part should have it

[M3RC1L3SS]

I would spend some extra money on a set asorted bolts. It will cast ya more in the long run replacing all of the parts that break because some thing moved that wasn't tightened up properly.

Go to mcmaster and you will get 25 of them for $2. Buy longer than you need, can always cut some to be shorter.

Since it's an engine mount, you should be able to dremel the head clear off the bolt, then take the engine off and remove the stump with a pair of pliers.
