Help! Demon bolt stripped
#31
Demon bolt
I had this same issue. I struggled for a long time with the passenger side until finally it snapped out! But the driver side I had a lot of issues with. All the bolts came out relatively easy but the demon bolt was out of this world. I couldn’t use my half inch 6 point impact socket because the steering knuckle was in the way. So I had to take it down to 3/8. It started to round and I couldn’t get anything on it that wouldn’t slip. I tried using my husky stripped bolt extractor and pounded it on there and it was still slipping. A week later I got a 14mm stripped bolt extractor from snap on which was a lot better looking and a way bigger breaker bar from them too. I went home and pounded that bad boy on the bolt and cranked on it and finally the glorious sound of the bolt snapping! Hope you find this useful.
