Re: starter

you could try hammering a smaller size socket on it, or you can get sum vice grips on it if possible. i dont know what the bolts look like. if you can, try to cut them off. i had the same problem with my wheel bearing bolts. i got two off, but the 3rd one was stipped so bad i just welded a crappy socket to it. i have also heard of using a file to "trim" the bolt so you can get a socket on it.

Re: starter

These work great for stripped or sheered bolts.
