I like the 12 pt serrated bits a lot better. But like their allen-wrench counterparts, most folks are in a hurry and don't clean them out before inserting the tool... ruins both the tool and the bolt. Bummer.

There is a trick you can use. Smear some valve grinding compound on the tool. The grit fills up the gaps between the tool and the bolt head. You get much better leverage. It works with allen, torx and phillips. The head usually breaks before the bolt strips.

QUOTE(kwales @ Jul 10 2009, 10:31 AM)  Cutting the heads off the bolts will leave the shank of the bolts in the holes and prevent the CV's and axles from moving down.... It's a good thing someone pointed this out before the factory went and put PINS in those CV's ... OK - I agree it'd be a b!tch to deal with if all the bolts were in, but with the trailing arms at full droop (especially with the upper or lower coilover mount disconnected) I bet you'd have enough axial to get the CV off the flange if you had only one or two cut (or broken...) off. Cutting the head off is definitely a last-resort approach, but I've gotta think it's manageable... |
