Stripped bolts

[Th3importedguy]

I've got most of the header bolts off but 2 of them seem to be very stripped. My bolt extractor sockets won't grip on them. Idk what to do because it's in a really tight spot. Any help??

channel locks?

The space is too tight

vice grips or a grinder/dremel/torch

It's at an angle so I couldn't fit vice grips there and I don't thing I can cut accurately with a Dremel because of the tight space

Against the head all the way to the right. I'll take a pic tomorrow morning

Can I remove the head with the headers attached if I disconnect it form the down pipe??

Yes. But you have to remove a lot more stuff to get the head off, and that also means a new head gasket and timing belt.

Got an m42 so no timing belt 😁. And I've got all the intake parts off the car the valve cover radiator parts all the belts all im missing is the headers and then the head bolts
