converter bolts get guys as many of you know gms torqu onverter bolts are the most retarted design. i have the hex head bolts in mine can anyone tell me the easy was to get hem out so i can get my converter out
Best way to do it is heat each bolt up till red and then they should come out alot eaiser( melts all the locktite).soak Then get a long extension And in front of kmember and it should come out. If you do strip them then you are only left with drilling them out, or grinding the head off..

The way I had to do it (stripped them) was taking a dremel and cutting a notch in the head of the bolt. Then I just took a flat head and a hammer and knocked it loose and spun it out by hand.

since the bolt is completely rounded out inside i cant ure a torx head. i notchded it w a dremel and tryed to hammer it w a screwdriver and tryed to heat it up to cherry red and still no luck im close to giving up
yeah man thos rthings are locktited in I even had one that rounded out after I broke it loose cause it was so hard to turn because of the locktite. your probably just going to have to cut the head off AIr chisel works well.
I used a sharp chisel and hit it on the edge and they came loose for one our members who stripped his out it took awhile for the last one but i got it done for him !!!!!!!!!!!!Dig the chisel inthe edge really good and hit it with a big hammer !!!!!!!!

When you notch it with a dremel, make sure you're taking a whole chunk out of the head of the bolt.....as if it were a pie and you were cutting a slice out. That relieves the pressure on the threads.
