Front shock removal trouble
I have an '02 z28 that I am putting strano springs and koniSTRT shocks on. I got the backs put on and the passenger side front removed but when I tried to remove the driver side and the wonderful torx head bolt holding it in rounded out!! Now I can't get it out. I was able to get the one under the brake fluid reservoir out. Any suggestions?

If there is no way for to hammer a larger torx into the bolt and get it out this is really your only option.

Other methods are :
Take a cutting disk and cut a grove so that a big flat head screw driver fits in and then use some vise grips to turn the screw driver.
Or you can weld a nut onto the top of the bolt and get it out this way.
