fourbanger -> RUSTED BOLTS (11/10/2005 12:46:20 PM)

Hey guys. completly new to this, I have a feeling I'll be here often. so.. the problem goes.

I have a 1993 mazda b2600i, and my driver's side hub bolts are stuck! and they're all rounded off due to letting a friend "try somthing"

dilling them out kills bits and isn't really effective, and i tryd special bits that extraxt bolts with NO HELP.. any ideas how to get they out?
Thanks

Are these the bolts that hold the 4x4 hubs on with the 10mm head. They have a tapered seat and are very tight to remove especially with rounded heads. I bought a set of bolt extractors from Sears, Craftsman that are called "Bolt-out Damaged Bolt/Nut remover set" for under $20 and they have been a lifesaver at times. You hammer it onto the rounded head and they dig into the metal of the head as you turn to remove. The harder you turn the harder they dig in. Even used one to remove a rounded lug nut and it ended up breaking the lug stud off they are that strong. Craftsman part #952161. They work for me.

I'd rather have rusty bolts than rusty nuts!
