Rounded off nut/bolt!HELP!!!
Hey, trying to change over to some BBK underdrive pullies. One of the heads on the crank pully is rounded off. I can't get anything, even vise grips to hold onto it. Tried some specially made sockets from advance auto parts, but I need a 12mm and an 11mm is the closest they have. It wouldn't work. I need some advise. I do not want to remove the radiator to get a drill on it. HELP!

try a chisel punch and hammer to walk the bolt out, but be careful.
If you don't know what I'm talking about then don't try it. |
i agree with the above that would be the easiest

Go to sears and get an item called 'Bolt-Out'
Comes in a plastic case with 5 special sockets that are made for removing damaged bolts. The number on my kit is.. 52060 |

Just drill a hole in the center of the bolt and use an easy-out. :yup: |

before drilling a hole in it tap(fairly hard but not so hard as to brake something) on it with a punch in the center of the bolt, I have been surprised at how many stubborn bolts i have freed up that way in the past few years working breakdown maintenance on machines |
Is it the stock crank pulley? 5.0 correct?? If so, then it should be a 9/16" bolt. If aftermarket, you're screwed. Get the drill out.

And if all else fails. Weld a socket onto it and hope it holds. Thank God for the mig welder in times of shame.

Guy's, I tried every kind of hand tool available with no success. i will be taking it to the mechanic this week to let them pull the radiator and all. I know that I could probably do it, but hey, I'm lazy and don't want to mess with it! Thanks!

I have a whole set of the sockets lee is talking about. Mine is a 10 piece set if you wanted to give them a try
