Default quick ? need a quick answer please!

ok, so I have the 2 seat cushions on in the rear...all I need to do is the back rest in leather. I am in the process of removing those stupid *** star bolts. I stripped 2...took it to someone, and all they did was cut the heads off them what the hell do I do now? I was thinking about drilling into them with a smaller bit to grab em.

There is a bolt remover that taps into the shaft of the bolt to remove it. It looks like a spiral bit. An auto parts store may have it. I think Craftsman had it too, but I cant find it right now.

Here is a crappy pic on ebay:

I did a quick search on google and found this:

Another thing you can try is cutting a slot in the end of the shaft and use a large screw driver. But if its really stuck in there, you wont have the leverage to remove it.

Also, dont forget the penetrating lube. Remember though, that most penetrating lube is highly flamable so dont use it in conjucntion with a torch.
