rounded torque bolt on a manual gearbox

[Garth]

hi guys, changing the clutch today on the jeep, the top right hand side bolt, it's a silly little torque bolt, well it's rounded, a friend was helping me, and was being a dork, and rounded it for me,
any ideas on a method for removal? easy outs arnt a option as i cant get a drill onto the bolt,

Can you hammer a slightly smaller double hex socket onto it or isn't there enough room?
Actually first try using a single hex socket if you aren't already

 

[Dr HaxZaw]

yeah try hammering a smaller socket on would be my guess... other than that maybe get a dremel and cut new flats on the nut

Vice grips?

Depending how tight it is

 

[Dayvo]

How about a pair of stilsens they come in various . They are pretty good , the more pressure you use to remove the bolt the tighter they grip reducing the tendancy to slip.

I have sockets for this theyre like an easy outbut a socket you hammer them on and undo them like normal. I got that from snap on but can probably buy them at repco or whatever

ended up putting the gearbox and stuff back together today instead, gonna wait to see what my uncle david says, he is a expert at anything that uses petrol, im sure he can get it out some how, he can do anything, he is awesum
