Stripped ****, I stripped out my last converter bolt, any ideas how to get it out? I assume gunna have to use an extraction bit? But, those things are in there reallllly good...so I dunno how it's going to be able to break it loose.

As in the head of the bolt is rounded off ? Or the bolt is cross threaded into the converter?
I use an air hammer with a faily sharp bit to get the bolt moving when the head is stripped out and can no longer get a wrench or socket on it. Works pretty good on converter bolts.
In the absence of an air hammer, use a fairly long chisel that is sharp and a hammer. The trick is to get a good bit going then change angles and try to rotate the bolt by tapping it with the hammer / chisel.
Good Luck.

Verdad Gallardo Hope it works out for you. After being in the buisness for 18 years I have learned a thing or two. This is like a said something to try if you do not have means of chiseling it out of there. Most people to have access to a drill and some bits. It's not the most easy way to go at it but will work. Good luck. Vince
