Default HELP Real quick- in the middle of this install

What is the best way to remove a stripped rocker arm bolt??? Nothing seems to fit these right. I have 2 8mm 8pt sockers and neither one of them would grab well and I ruined one of the bolts. I went and purchased a bolt grip kit made by vice grip and the 8mm that comes with the kit does fit (too small).

Any suggestions please!!!

Changing pushrods 20 min. job and I am going on 1.5 hrs.

Thanks,

J.R.

I was going to say the Craftsman bolt out kit. You need to be careful, they break easy. I have broken a few of them.

Like the others above said, the Craftsman set works like a charm. The only thing that sucks though is I believe the bolts are about $4 each.
