Is there a special tool that I can use to get this bolt out. Its completely stripped. There is no way I can get any kind of vice grip around it as it sits in a seated groove thing. I will post pics up tomorrow to show what I am talking about.

a tork head socket will bite in to the stripped allen hole like a champ and will take it right out. get a size that barely does not fit. and tap it in. it will come out like it was made for it.

those sound like great ideas. Unfortunately I forgot my tools and my camera on my way to work this morning. Damn, I anxious to try those tricks out.
