FCA removal

[Doc Holiday]

I have a new FCA that I want to put in, my truck has 250,000 miles and I want to swap it. I can get the top and side bolt out no problem, the bottom bolt acts like the torx head is stripped out of it. Any ideas on how to remove it?

Are you sure you used the correct Torx? If I recall it is a T27, so if you used a 25 you might have stripped out the head. Depending on the location it may be difficult to remove.

Everything I've seen said T-25 so that's what I used. I'll try a T-27

Also make sure the head of the bolt isn't full of crud.

So now that we have all of that out of the way how do I get said bolt out with the torx head stripped out
