Grow some hairs on your arms and break em loose..

 

There siezed Im stripping the bolts already

 

Shouldn't be stripping them with the proper sized socket, 14mm and some good leverage with a ratchet. If they are too far rounded off now get an extractor socket.

 

Yea man I'm a huge dick.

I was calling you a girl, like Kirsten. Except she could get the starter off.

 

Oh yea real man behind the computer right.

 

I'm f**king with you man. That's what friends do.

 

Alright I'm just pissed about my truck. Its my only transportation

 

Couple solutions here... do you have a torch? If not, you can pick up a cheap one (cheap compared to a real torch) at Tractor Supply for ~$50 that runs on MAPP and oxygen bottles. The oxy bottles don't last long (bout 10 minutes) but hey if it gets you out of a jam... you can always return it later (after buying new oxy and MAPP bottles for it of course).

So if you got a torch... grab the PB Blaster and soak 'em down. Then pick one to start with. Soak it with PB again and put the flame to it. Get 'er RED hot... as soon as it cools to a dull cherry red, hit it with more PB (if you don't wait til it cools a bit, then the PB will catch fire and burn off before it can do anything for you). Smash it a few times with your favorite BFH (big f'n hammer) and soak it some more. When it quits glowing, repeat the above process. After a few tries, if it still won't come out, then PB>torch>BFH>PB it again and come back to it later. Work on the other bolt for a while. Or do it to both and let 'em set overnight and try removing them the next morning.

Now the other thing that works for me on stubborn bolts with rounded heads... weld a big nut to it. The bottom one looks easy enough to get to, not sure if you have room to weld on the top one. Weld a nut to it (not a bolt, it'll probably snap and **** you off) and use that to get a good grip on it since the original bolts are rounded off. If you do this AND put the torch to it, you got a real good chance of at least breaking it loose. BUT... not sure if you can get a good ground to weld with.

If you get one of these bolts to turn, even just a little bit...

Don't try to remove it yet!

Here's where you need more patience. You know it ain't siezed anymore. Now you just have to work it out a lil bit at a time. Turn it out til it gets tight, back off a half turn or so, SOAK it with PB, then run it out a little more til it gets hard to turn again. Do this until it's all the way out.

If you can't weld to the top one, you can at least try to torch it.

Good luck.

 

do what dixie said pb blaster or deep creep, heat and time. A lot of time once it took me 8 hours to get the front hub bolt off my bronco I eventually took a beefy open end wrench and welding it to the bolt and pounded it off while cherry red. every time it doesn't work hit it with the torch and spray it with deep creep or pb and drink a beer maby 2...

I found a decent small ox/ac on Craigslist for $100. now if it don't break loose on the first few tries and after spraying I heat it up.

I also agree with Sylver the proper sized socket and leverage do a whole world of wonders. There is no excuse for stripped heads for a basic stuck bolt unless it was the PO then have a beer and curse his name till you're driving again.

Mine snapped off after trying everything. Not what I wanted to happen but after the starter was off i was able to remove the remaining part of the bolts with a pliers. I was lucky and they did not break flush. Using the above tips you are either gonna get them out or break them trying, after broken maybe you will be lucky like me. If they break flush its time for a drill and EZ-out.
