You drill a small hole in the bolt, and put one of these in there. The threads run backwards, so as it bites into the bolt, it turns the bolt out.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this thing removed? I have hardly any room to work in btw, not even enough to be able to hammer a smaller sized socket on it.
is it actually accessed through a hole in the pulley? i would get a GOOD socket, name brand and NEW, and try that. sometimes a cheap socket will flex and round the edges.

I've blasted it with PB Blaster. The thread is fine, the head is starting to get rounded. I don't have room to get a hammer in there. Guy at work said I might have to file down the head a little in order to get the smaller sized bolt extracter on it. As for removing a lot of stuff to make room, it's all the pulleys for the serpentine belt that are in the way, not sure how to remove those. I know you can get the pulley off the power steering pump assembly, just don't know yet if a pulley puller could even fit in the space I have to work with.

No, it is one of the ones below and to the right of the pulley. I used a "good" sears craftsman socket to start with. I think using the larger bolt extractor has pretty much rounded it too much for a socket to work anymore.

If any bit was sticking out I'd take out the trusty mig welder, weld a short 12 point bolt on it and then remove it while it was still hot... assuming you have a mig welder. You get a good head to grip + heat all in one shot.

Owning a mig welder has totally changed my approach to these situations...

I don't know if there is room to get a drill in there. I have maybe 3-4 inches to work with(and no, I'm not talking about a penis). I suppose I might have to get the entire engine lifted out in order to get to it.....

No welder, though if it comes to it I'm sure I can borrow one.

I've done this before, and I was scared shitless doing it. But it worked like a charm...
