Remove it and replace it with another bolt. Since its stripped you can try an easy out or weld a nut onto it and turn it out with a socket wrench or whatever.

yeah, thatd work if i had access to a welder.

[w0nderbr3ad]

Get a left-handed bit and drill it out.

I would weld a nut to it and remove it, done it tons of times. The heat from the welding helps break it free if it's frozen.

Vise grips!?

nah i tried that. thats why theres little threading left.

i even hammered on a socket but that didnt really work either.

[racepar1]

There's really not many options man. Either weld a nut onto it, or drill it out. Drilling it out is going to be a bitch. Drag the tranny down to a muffler shop with a few extra nuts and have them welded. It takes a few tries sometimes so don't freak out if the nut just breaks off the first time.

guess ill have to try that. i might try a dremel first. maybe make it wrenchable.

[soundboy]

Drill and a magnet.

EZ OUT (https://www.google.com/search?q=ez+out&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS490US490&oq=ez+out&aqs=chrome.0.69i57j0j5j0.825j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

drill the bolt out and use a wire brush and a screwdriver to remove the leftover shavings

weld it

all are much easier than it sounds

[MrSanchez925]

lots of pb blaster, some heat and vice grips.

or screwable.

cut a slit in it with a dremel then use a flathead screw driver. I've done that with small screws around the fuel rail before and it worked.

+1 for welding a nut a few times till its out. Best of luck

This!!! PB blast the hell out of it for a couple of days, then try to pop it with vice grips. If it still wont come off, get a torch and heat around it.

Get the welding epoxy and put a nut on. Give it a day or two to properly cure.

Have you ever tried that seafoam stuff at pep boys? It's like $12 a can but it works very well and smells great.
