-> Hi all.
->
-> Can anyone recommend a good way of removing stripped Hex bolts?
->
-> When the garage put the manual locking hub cover back on my
Tracker,
-> they tightened the bolts so tight that the one I tried to remove
-> stripped before budging (should have been 7 ft-lbs according to
-> Aisin's assembly instructions).  I couldn't budge the others
either,
-> but stopped before stripping them, though I expect I will strip
them
-> on removal, too.  
->
-> I need to lubricate the manual locking hub because it is stuck in
the
-> Free position.   I'm hoping that is all I need to do, anyway.
->
-> Back to the problem   I have seen a tool to remove stripped screws
-> advertised on TV, apparently Canadian tire etc. sell them.  Has
anyone
-> used this tool?  Did it work or not?
->
-> I will appreciate any and all help.
-> TIA

-By hex bolts do you mean bolts that take an allen wrench or do you
mean
-hex heads that take a socket?

Oh, yea.  Never thought of that.

They take an allen wrench.
