I went under to change my tranny fluid today and totally stripped the drain bolt/plug. It's so narrow in that area I couldn't really get a good grip ( i don't know how I managed to drain it before...). Successive tries just resulted in more and more stripping, and now I can get the socket onto bolt, but it just slips off if I try and turn it
 . I apologize if this isn't the correct area to post this...and I did read as many of the other stripped screw/bolt threads as I could, but that area is so small that I couldn't really imagine any of those methods working too well for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm probably just going to have to bring it to my mechanic, but I thought I'd shoot you guys the problem first. Thanks, all input is appreciated.

What you need is a Bolt-Out set, or maybe you can just find the one you need.
 You can find them at sears, make sure it has the size you need. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Jun 7, 2007 - 11:16 AM -------------------- |
