    Default Flywheel bolts stripped

    car is a 96 civic ex. Two of the flywheel bolts got stripped. I have tried a few things, but having limited tools, I cant get them out. If anyone can come over and help me out I will gladly pay. text or call 678 851 025eight. (engine is still in the car with trans dropped)

    Weld a nut onto them. I've had to do that a few times

    use a stripped bolt remover... standard Honda flywheel bolt is 17mm 12pt, so use a 16mm stripped bolt remover... just pound it on. if it doesnt go on, use a flathead to chisel the edges a little then smash the socket on.


    ive done this quite a few times and always works, but is tedious.

    Go to sears, get the rounded bolt remover, beat it on, use breaker bar to get it off.

    12pt socket that is 1mm smaller - hammer it onto the bolt, and remove.
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...

    i always just grind the heads off. this relieves the pressure on the bolt the you can grind a lil notch in it and use a big flat head to get it out.

    if someone can do it for me that'd be great, and i'll pay. I tried to jam the bolt remover on there, but it ended up stripping it even worse

    welding on a nut seems to be the best idea to me.
