Try a "Star" socket.  Get one just slightly smaller and hammer on bolt head.  then use impact or breaker bar.  If that doesn't work try heating them a little first and while hot apply wax to run threads.  Hope it works for you.  John - Original Message - From: Rob Shaffer

Brad - Your parents really need to consult with a lawyer and their own insurance company. This is especially important if there are any medical bills. Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% against frivolous legal action and am a staunch support of tort reform, but they need to be extremely careful. Karl G

Quick update. The other insurance company (Allstate) called my dad and asked to have medical bill sent to them, and offered him $15 a day for loss of use of his car. Initial estimate is $12-$14K to fix the car and TWO MONTHS! I'm guessing the parts are not readily available... Brad Waller > --

Rob, A trick I use for tough rounded bolts is I set a larger nut on top of the bolt and weld it to it. The larger the better as long as you have clearance. I would use a 1/2" nut on the 3/8" exhaust bolts. Then carefully impact it out while it is still hot from the weld. Mike Holleman

Rob,   I bought a set of those "sockets" from Sears that are made to bite into the head as you try to loosen the bolt. It worked great. It works better if you can use some sort of penetration oil like PB Blaster, and let it soak for a while, or if you can heat the area first with a torch. Car
