RE: stripped CV bolts (any ideas)



Hammer (yes, hammer) a slightly oversized allen wrench into each of them. This has worked extremely well for me on several occasions... If only the previous owner had known about the tripple square tool in the first place.

Subject: stripped CV bolts (any ideas)

Can anyone help me by telling me how to get these damn things out?  I have 5, yes, 5 stripped CV bolts........This transmission swap has been a huge pain in the ass so far!  I have the new one finally, and it's ready to go in, but I can't get the old one out till I undo the CVs.
 
I was gonna grind the heads off the bolts, but I don't have enough room to get in there with my grinder.
 
BTW, this is on an 88 golf
