Removing strip bolt on 96 camaro?

There are 2 tools that I know of that will remove the bolt, both should be available at your local hardware store; I am sure someone will know what your looking for if you explain.

The first looks like a socket, but rather than a normal socket pattern the inside contains blades that bite into the stripped bolt so that you can remove it.

The second looks like a drill bit, but with a weird blade carved into it. By drilling it into the stripped bolt, you should be able to remove it.

I own both tools & the socket with the blades seems to work the best. I apologize I do not have the correct terms for these tools...Good luck with the bolt.

I guess you mean you stripped the hex head? I'm right with you man. Replacing heads on my van today, and my exhaust manifold bolts aren't hex anymore.

Couple options, really.

If you have a dremel, you can either cut two flat spots opposite each other so you have a flat surface to grip with a vise-grip.

Or you can cut a notch in to unscrew it with a screwdriver, but that's likely to break.

If you have a welder, you could always weld a small piece of metal to it, wait for it to cool, and use that as a new handle to crank that bolt out!

if you can get to it to grind the head of it of you can remove the manifold and use pair of vice grips to get it out,if not enough room try welding a small bolt or not on it and the heat along with the pressure you apply to it will remove it,i have did a few that way before,it sounds primitive ,but it works,and there's always good chisel and hammer if all else fails,good luck.
