Went to swap mid pipes on my 04 cobra. Got 3 collector nuts off no problem, but the top bolt on the passenger air started stripping. Need someone who can get this bitch taken off so I can swap my x pipe on.
Anyone in Sacramento have a lift and or the correct tool?

Try using a metric socket one that will fit in there as tight as possible bang it with a hammer if needed than use a ratchet to get it out. Worked for my friend when he lost the key to his wheel locks.

Do you have a pic of the damage? I had this happen on my bro's catfish and on a range rover sport once. The difficulty of removal varies situation by situation.

I bought this kit by Irwin Tools that has metric sockets for removing stripped bolts and its worked every time I've needed it. It's got sharp cyclone type socket that'll grab the roundest of bolt heads and get em out no problem. Worth the 10 bucks I think, good luck!

I just found that kit online and i am going to see if I can find one locally.
thanks for the replies!!!
think it would help if i heated it up with a torch before trying to break it loose?

Found the Irwin deep socket grip socket set. Hammered the socket on and cranked it off with a breaker bar. Highly recommend this socket set
