Go to Sears, they have this tool called an EZ-Out or something like that. It's like a drill bit that bites into the bolt and then pulls it out. Is it just the bolt head that's stripped? Or are the threads gone?
yep ez out...take your time
I had to EZ out a bolt on a Chris King hub.... I swear, it took my dad and I over an hour. The head is soft as butter... but the bolt itself beyond the head is CRAZY HARD.
Dont break the EZ out in the bolt, its made ov very hard steel so if you torque it it'll snap.
