rounder bolt

[DSPENCER]

Ok so im replcing my oil adapter gasket on my 93 mark 8, i go to remove the bolts and they gave me a hard time but eventually got 3 off but the top right bolt ended up rounding on me, ive tried vice grips,gator grip, and i went out and bout thouse craftsman sockets that are suposed to grap on them but that didnt work everything slips nebody have ne sugestions?

get a chisel, whack the top of the bolt off..

When you pull the housing off there should be enough bolt left for you to grab.

then replace the bolt with a new one.

If I were in my garage I would probably weld a nut to the top of the rounded one... but I've got a welder...

You can get those sockets with the teeth on them... but then you'll have to replace the bolt, as they will bight into the nut head and eat it up but it will come out.

I think he already tried those...

You might want to try a smaller one, hammer it on and it will bite!
