Subject:      Stripped CV Bolt HELP!

Hi all.   Started working on Moo's CV joints yesterday.

After rounding out not one, but TWO of the bolts in that horrible,small
casing on the outter side.... I VERY carefully cleaned and heated the
remaining studs and removed them all.

As you read this I'll be in the garage cleaning and re assembling the
one side I have off.

So, please, any suggestions as to hor to deal with those two rounded
bolts ?

I purchased an EZ out yesterday only to find that not one of the
billions of sockets I have will fit the end... and I cant reach in there
with anything cause the siatance is what, 6 inches or  10 cm.

So, I'll go clean and reassemble and I'll see what the wisdom of the
list is.

Its Thanksgiving day in Canada.

Thanks for the list, thanks for your help.
