Need help!Stripped head bolt
Ok. I figured out why the car was so cheap. The passenger side rear head bolt is rounded out in the interior. It's the only one that won't budge because the 12 sided head bolt attachment I'm using is just spinning inside of it.
Any suggestions?

We got it figured out. They're 12 pt's that look like you have to put a big *** allen wrench into them. I know that's not really what they are, but I was just using it to describe them.
Well, it turns out the people that owned the car before me left the bolts partially de-torqued. This increased the pressure on the bolt that WAS stripped, however, my buddy retorqued the ones in the surrounding area and the stripped bolt popped out with the aid of a graduated easy off. It looks like a carrot shaped cork screw that we pounded into the head of the bolt and then undid.
