Hi all:


Got lots of replies to my "rounded out Allen-head CV bolt" problem.
 Nobody -except one person - really liked my idea of cutting a screw-head
slot in the head of the bolt and removing it that way.  The vast majority of
the replies advocated the use of Vice-Grips to twist the bolt off.  Since
most of those in the Vice-Grip camp stated they had used the method
personally with success, I bit the bullet and got some genuine Vice-Grips
and, gosh darn, it worked!  Got that sucker right off!


Thanks to everyone who helped me "see the light."
