m20 camshaft sprocket removal

[e30pdee]

alright guys so i have done this before with little to no trouble, but this second time i tried to remove a camshaft sprocket i stripped the e12 bolt and now the bolt only turns clockwise, is there any way i could remove the sprocket now that the bold is stripped?

bump!

It sounds like you've really got a problem. Hopefully the threads in the cam aren't too bad and they can be retapped. Short of a die grinder and a cutting bit i'm not sure how your gonna get into that recess to remove the bolt. Good luck.
