Stripped bolt head

[patrobertson]

You guys who are on here, have much experience, time under your belts, and ingenuity so I thought I would post my need here as well. My afc bolt was replaced and I went to get it out today to put in a new plate and I boogered it all up. I couldn't get out, so I was going to use an easy out, but a drill bit broke off inside, now I have a stripped head which used to be a flat screwdriver head, and the bit won't let me drill through it. So I am looking for advice. I really appreciate it. I want to replace it with either a regular bolt or torx head, when I can get it out.



Thanks

Shane

If

If you still have some of the screwhead left you can try to use a small dremel and a cutting blade to enhance or cut a new slot for screwdriver. Then take impact driver and give it a whack.



If that doesen't work, grind the head off and pull the other bolts out. This might give you enough bolt to hold with vicegrips or other method, take your time. Good luck
