89 toyota tercel....auto

ya, you can drive without one if you feel like setting your car on fire and melting every non-metal object inside the engine bay and the car having absolutely no torque

Any tool store should sell the "bit" things you need to get the bolts out. They have barbs on them, you tap a small hole, screw them in, and get them out. If you do a search I know there is at least 1 thread that describes the exact procedure on how to do it, patience is key.

get a new car man.

just drill out the bolts and use one of these
Make sure you use a center punch so you drill the holes in the center of the bolt, hit the punch hard, it will help break the bolt loose.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Sweet, glad someone found a pic and gave better info than I was able to.

^^use some penitration lube with thoes bolt removers though...i felt like a complete idiot when trying to remove a seized bolt where the head broke off out of a head with one and didnt use penetration lube....i got the bit suck inside the bolt...

You better take the head off before you try to drill those bolts out. If you get off line you can ruin the whole head. Your bit may "walk" on you and it will choose the softer path (aluminum).
