Removing a stripped bolt

[Groves]

a) I'm sure you've made sure you're removing a right hand thread.

b) Keep up the PB Blaster

c) Use a 6point socket

d) you can use heat and don't be afraid to hammer it like a nail to loosen things up. Not sure you have room for that.

e) welding another nut on is a very good final solution

f) If nothing else, can you just shear the bolt head off with a cold chisel and remove the part? This might leave you with more exposed bolt shaft to grip for removal.

g) always pre coat your hands with dawn dishwashing liquid. Then when they get greasy, it washes right off afterwards.
