I highly recommend using a little heat and a Snap On bolt extractor. This has worked for me numerous times, without any nightmares. best of luck. dylan ----- Original Message ---- From: chris <chris@MCCLURKEN.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Friday, December 8, 2006 6:59:26 AM Subject: Help removing stripped CV joint bolts Anyone out there know of a tool for stuck/stripped/rounded out CV Joint bolt? I'm swapping the transmission on my 85 GL and I've found a nightmare or stripped bolts. The outside of the bolts look kind of threaded which makes me think whoever messed with them last used a tool...but I have no idea what. Suggestions appreciated... Thanks, Chris Nashville, TN 85 Vanagon GL manual ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo!
