Default stripped flywheel bolt

apparently my flywheel was torqued down to about a billion psi. one of them is stripped now. what's the easiest way to get that s.o.b out?

Cut a slot in it with a Dremel and use a flathead screwdriver.

Drill a hole in the middle and use a screw extractor, .. spin the flywheel so that the bolt is on the bottom so you can fit the drill in there.

watch this video.. if you drill it correctly it should come out easy without hammering or having to use a breaker bar.

I would try that extractor that wetpak suggested first before using the internal type extractor.

you could always drill into it then use an e-z out..... when you change out the bolt make sure you replace all of them with hex head bolts because it's very easy to strip out those star pattern bolts.
