Help!!!!!!!!!!headers!!! i rounded off the last bolt on the drivers side changing myh headers i tried using a bolt extractor it did not work at all im at a stand still some 1 please help.
i know there no room in there, but maybe a small pair of vice grips? then put a small wrench on the end to get some leverage.also, if u have a small dremel toool, you can shave down 2 sides, and slip a small wrench on it. but there is a risk of that rounding as well... two different ideas i have used on other rounded bolts...

I think you mean that the hex on the bolt head rounded. If that is the case, look for a cam drive socket. I know snap on used to sell them, and they will definately get anything off.
If you broke the head off, then you should be able to get the exhaust out of the way and get on the shank of the bolt with vise grips. Sounds like a lot of work, but necessary.

Changing the manifolds on my buddies ls1 a bolt rounded out and we used a dremel with the long attachment for it with a grinding stone to take the head down and we pulled the manifold over the bolt. Then used vice grips to get it out. But it wasnt the rear bolt... Good luck to you
