Which are stripped, allen or triple square?
I have had good success driving the triple square tool into the stripped allen bolts and then using a ratchet to remove them. It is a bit hard on the tool but Snap-on keeps giving me new ones. Triple square hardware is capable of handling more torque than allen hardware but too many people don't clean out either before trying to tighten or loosen, leading to stripped bolts. Vise grips are always a good option if there is enough room to get a hold of the bolt head. Good Luck Jim |

A triple square on each side stripped. I cleaned & pounded the tool in, to no avail.

Read what the slits said... VICE GRIPS Rich No matter how tight I get the small vice grips (and they are new, with nice sharp teeth), it slips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

Use bigger ones.
I have broken vice grips by trying to get them on the hardened bolts...broken the front piece.. Also, use a dremel to flatten out two sides, then use vice grips. They will come loose. Use a hammer to loosen the threads a bit. Rich |

Curved jaw channel locks. I use the 10" ones if they'll fit, the battery clamp ones if they won't. Call me to arrange pickup ................ The Cap'n

If you have a dremel you can carefully cut the heads off with a fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel... Once the CV is off the threaded shank will come right out. Careful not to scar the retaining plate, but if you do they are plentiful.

What worked for me was to just remove the axle w/ the stub attached. Pull the bolts once it's out, and replace the stub axle in the car to keep wheel bearings in place.

Take a small flat chisel and put it flush dead center on the side horizontal or parallel to the axle and make a good groove then angle it ccw and knock it loose.

I have to agree with SLITS and Cap'n on this one. Big channel locks or big vice grips always have worked for me many times. One of my parts cars had every single bolt stripped. The air chisel can just peal the bolt or slip past. I just don't like using them.

Blue point makes a great easy-out (fitting over the OD)that will get them out np. I also use a hammer/chisel on them. If push comes to shove, use a slam hammer with the chisel attachment. Fun tool.

Use a 4" Ridgid Pipe Wrench. The teeth are ground at an angle to bite into round head and the jaws form an angle of sorts so the grip tightens with torque. I've done this on my Ghia and 914 (PO leftovers).

THIS is what you need!
http://www.channellock.com/acb/stores/1/ca...p;Category_ID=6 They work. There's not a lot of room in there to get both a grip and any kind of swing, but if you're patient, they do the job. I think I use the middle one, but I also have the one on the right. The Cap'n |

I had one that I pounded a semi-ruined start point wrench into and then welded in place. Came out easy.
I have also used vice grips, but if you have a wrecked star point bit, welding it in may be faster. Zach |
