How do you get out stripped flywheel bolts? Mine where super tight i tried to get them out for like three hours.
 
I assume you mean "stuck" not stripped :confused:

Flywheel bolts are installed with threadlocker which can be tough to break loose.
Heat helps, so if you have access to a torch, it will help loosen them up a bit.

A little heat and a breaker bar should do the trick quite nicely :thumb: :dsm:
 
That's right a torch will work....If not craftsman has a set of hex cups that will get 'em out in nothing. Those bite the head of the bolt ad stick with it until it gets loose
It cost $35

Good Luck!
 
Heat the head of each bolt. Using an impact driver with good 6 point impact socket and good size hammer loosen each one. The heat will lengthen the bolt slightly and facilitate ease of removal if you haven't rounded the shoulders of the bolts off. Replace with new bolts when going back on. Be careful with the torch so as not to set car on fire. Never know what will get on fire if you get careless. ;o)
