	Hit it with a chisel, not one for wood obviously, but quite a sharp one for metal, once you make a series of grooves around it, shud start to come of..............

	yeah they have always got out what i have needed! even got out my set of locking wheel nuts that whre tight as fuck! internaly they have three like teeth that stick out and cut into the bolt head, gripping it, and allowing you to remove it. mine are an irwin set and are the best i have seen!

	Sworn at it & smacked it with a hammer :\| Mole grips wont work cos its recessed into the block. Bolt head remover, might need to look into that, do they work well?? The bolt in question it very very tight!! I was using the right socket!! It was so tight it just started to turn within the head. Its pretty fucked up now. Dont have a welder :( :look:

	Might have to drill it out... If it's not TOO rounded try heating it up then try again..
expire	posted on 18th Apr 07 at 18:01
	mole grips or just a pair of grips is what we use in my garage and if that doesnt work we mig weld another bolt onto that. p.s. try using the right size socket
M88ARW	posted on 18th Apr 07 at 18:00
	bolt head remover. bout a tennet a set. whack it on and as it grips it will undo the nut! very good everytime i have ever used them. look on fleebay!

	Have you sworn at it?
Colin	posted on 18th Apr 07 at 17:58
	Ive managed to feck a bolt I was trying to remove, its on a pretty difficult to work on area & is very tight. I dont want to have to drill it, what else could I do?? Tried battering a larger hex bit into it, but its not really working, I dont think it would turn anyway even if I did manage to work it in. Cant get molegrips or anything onto it because its recessed. Any ideas:look:
