We should have clarified this first, whats the specific situation that you're talking about Joe?

I'm assuming that the inside of the "hex bolt" is stripped but you can still get on the rounded outside portion of it? Something like this...

If so, vise grips will work just fine if you aren't limited to how much room you have to work with. You can also get a special bolt extractor socket that fits onto the end of a ratchet wrench, there are few stores in SD that would sell one though. I know of one or two off the top of my head but I don't think it would be a Home Depot stocked tool, unfortunately. Here's what it looks like though...

The caravan up there was worth it for sure and as for no one passing you, me and my freind were discussing that in the car on the way up, i think no one else knew where they were going well at least i didnt because i jumped in front once and then regreted that and fell to the back cause i didnt want to get lost

but an off topic question.

what machine shop does everyone down here in san diego use i was going to go to W.A.M. but heard bad things from my small block chevy friend

 

[gofer]

Yea come to think about it, I do have limited space. It is the two hex bolts that hold the J-pipe to the turbo inlet (I think thats what its called). I have to use a 7mm allen wrench.
