Shitty man try one of them gator grip things (they sell them at sears for sure maby you can find one at wal-mart or something) I used it once when i had a stripped bolt work pretty well. Or try some vise grips. GO TO A PARTS STORE AND GET A NEW BOLT FOR IT do not reuse it!
GOOD LUCK

They are a locking type wrench with teeth Wal-mart or any hardware store will cary them.
Side of socket do you mean where it goes on to the ratchet?

If you cannot get a grip on the bolt with the vice grips, you can try a back out kit. It is a set of drill bits but designed to back screw and bolts out of the hole using a drill.
It is a real handy tool. Good luck bud!! :grinyes:

Sears also sells a set of stripped socket sets designed to take out stripped sockets. I work there but Ive never used the things.

Gator Grip is a socket that has metal pins inside that conform the the stripped bolts. They're good for under 50lb Tourqe. I think they have a ft/lb rating on the box.
Stripped socket sets are have swirls in the thread that makes the bolt slide into place. I've almost bought a set a few times. They come in a sets. I think their only $19.99. You can goto Harbor Freight and get a set for like $5. I have to admit, I do buy alot of crap from Harbor Freight. its the supper walmart of tools. you can search their website or even see if sears-ebay has a set on auction.

Those little pieces that sears sells to get the stripped bolts out DOES NOT WORK!! I bought a set when I was doing my exhaust. The bolts on the heatshield on the manifold were stripped. I bought them, and needless to say, the heat shield came out with the manifold. Would have been easier without it. Waste of $20. I bought with a giftcard (plus a torque wrench), so it wasnt my money! Yeah me

lol. Understood. If you English was your first language I would have said somthing, but it's not, so I'll let it slide (every time).
Glad to see you got everthing fixed. No better feeling then that. Where are you from?

the smoke after a stop from high speed the first couple times (3-4 times) is pretty normal. The rotors are coated usually in a oil used when processing them. That is that burning off.

guy one more last question before I go to sleep , you know 2 LONG bolt that tight to the calibor , the one on the top had the black rubber, When I took it off , I dont see the rubber , then after I done with the brake job , warm up the car , take it for a ride , come back clean the my gagra , I found the black rubber , under the dirty payper tower, is it ok to ride the car like that , or I had to take out that long top bolt and put the rubber back ?.
