[Skinny_Pedal]

i was trying to change the gear oil in all my running gear. i get to the t-case and manage to strip the bolt. im in a very big dilema as u can tell and any help would be much appreciated!

[SWAMPER]

....shoot man....uhm...JBWELD it

[Hyena]

ya, just weld a small peice of metal to it to pry on or turn with.

[Skinny_Pedal]

i was gonna sifin it, but i can wait and do that hyena. serious i must be the biggest DA out there today!

[SWAMPER]

I vouch for that 

[Prismo]

Bring it over in the next few days & we can get it out. Don't know if I have an extra plug though, might want to find a new one.

Lilswamper we heard you the first time & it's vouch.

[Skinny_Pedal]

prism how do u propose to get it out? ill pick up a new plug tomarrow form the dealer. thursday good for me, how about u?

[Mike D]

take off the little skid plate and pull out a pair of vice grips and then go and look for a new plug.

[Skinny_Pedal]

from rubbing against rocks so much i have stripped one of those bolts to. so i take a hammer and twist it around for room!

[Prismo]

We will find a way Grasshopper. Remember, I have my trusty Booger Welder here. Get the plug w/the magnet

[Mike D]

Well then what i would do is drill out the stripped bolts including the one on the t-case and then run up to shucks and buy these things called easyouts and then you are home free.

[Ferg]

Broken bolts/studs - tack weld another nut to the remnant then just turn it right out

Small punch and hammer and walk the thing around till it's free.

[SWAMPER]

Sorry Prism...I dont know why it was put on twice and thanks for telling me how to spell

[Prismo]

Just call me Miss Manners.

[Skinny_Pedal]

[WHITE_TRASH]

[Skinny_Pedal]

[SWAMPER]

  .....Oh I think I can take Prism 

[88runner]

I have been in the same situation just gring the plug until it is square then remove it with a wrench.

[reklund5]

chisel bit on an air hammer? 

[Skinny_Pedal]

im just gonna weld to it. i bought the new plug today $10.88

[WHITE_TRASH]

Dang I was only gonna charge you $9.95 you got hosed!  lol

[Dark Chaos]

 I would suggest using liquid wrench a good size vice grip a clamp and a rather long metal tube. Take the vice grip and put it on the bolt as tight as possible then use the clamp to close the grips take the metal tube insert the end of the grip with the screw and your stripped bolt will be no more. Be very careful that you turn it the right way the t-case is only aluminum.

[SWAMPER]

why dont you try the....man whats the name....Gator Grip

[Skinny_Pedal]

because i can just wled on it and get it over with!

[locknload]

I've done this one meself. I took my Mototool (Any rotery tool and grindinding stone works just as well.) and ground the bolt head (Sort of)square. Then I hammered on an impact socket and unscrewd the bolt like normal. To remove remains of bolt from socket, stick a punch through ratchet side and pound it out with hammer. Two points; Wear eye protection and keep extra grinding stone around.
Good luck.

[Skinny_Pedal]

got it off. took a file got an impact socket on there and boom. it was easy. i guees i didnt totally dominate it after all. now i have the nice low-profile one! thanks for the advice

[boney]

Don't know if it's already been said but didn't whant to read the novel so here it goes.



Grab vise grips and pnchit on as tight as you can and go for it. If that doesn't work than take a 2x4 or some thing strong and put it end to end on frame and tighten the vise grips down put them on and hiot it till it locks with a hammer and you should be fine.
