@@ericalfred2875 Going through this myself. Decided to start changing my own oil again a few months ago and the bolt was rounded off. Was headed out of state and didn't have time to deal with it so took it to my normal place that we've been using for literally decades to have it done one last time. Looked under there and the same stripped bolt was reused. Tried the vice grip method and only made things worse so have a set of Irwin extractor sockets on the way to get the old bolt off and replace it with a brand new drain plug I have here. Back when I changed my own oil I never put the drain plug on super tight and never had a problem.

Your the man! Hammered a smaller socket then used impact wrench. Came right out. A big 7 year later, THANK YOU!

👍🏻 This is still the only video I can find that shows a true to life situation. Anyone who knows, instantly realises why this bolt is rounded-off in the first instance... ageing vehicle, big thread / high torque bolt, limited access for impact tools, and permanently open to corrosion. Whenever I come across something this bad, I always renew the bolt with a fresh one, and I often use a copper crush washer, or some copper grease when reinstalling (with a few exceptions). Give yourself (or the next guy) a fighting chance.

I'm glad I watched your video. I have a broken off alternator bolt that I need to back out and your solution is perfect!

You are my hero. You just explained pretty much all my questions and concerns in one short video. You also explained the issues I was having as well. Now I would love to see a video on how to remove oil filters in hard to reach places.

Thank you very much for this video! You saved me big $$$ having to get the oil pan replaced and I now also know what tools to use to get rounded bolts off!! I used Irwin bolt removers (special sockets) and it did the job great!

thanks a lot man!!! the torque socket worked wonders on my rounded bolt!! I owe you a beer. haha

Thanks man! I got some of them rounded bolt remover sockets they worked great!

Your video is a life saver. This solution was what worked for me after so many attempts. Thank you so much.

Another option that i have used myself is to hold a larger nut in place over the rounded one and weld in the centre of it to the rounded nut, then use the appropriate socket to remove, the heat from the weld helps no end. The same can be done for counter sunk allen sockets.

Excellent video!! Exactly what I’m going thru currently taking off my turbo pedestal on my truck!! That harbor freight socket should do the trick!!

Just bought this socket set at Harbor Freight yesterday and removed a rounded rusted nut under my van. Definitely worth it with 20% coupon :)

Was looking for one to get a 12mm nut off. H F didn't have those. . If you get these nut extractors, get the hex head ones, not just the socket head ones. You can get a wrench on those in a tight spot whereas a socket wrench might not have the room.

Your video helped me take a drain plug out. Thanks brother

2 thumbs up. Stripped u joint bolt and couldnt get pliers on it. Desperation pointed me to utube and your remedy worked. Thx

Never even thought about cutting a notch into it. Thanks.

The socket type that worked is called a Bolt Grip (by Irwin) or Turbo Socket (made by Hudson Bearing, which originated the helical internal shape). There are Craftsman versions, as well as those offered by Harbor Freight and others. Craftsman uses a through-bolt style, so you grip it with a wrench, or you can use a socket to grip the hex bottom. I believe all the other makes permit you to attach the socket directly to a ratchet by it's square drive end. They all use a 6-pt. grip design which bites into the fastener to hold it; the harder you turn, the tighter the grip. Very effective.

I have the Craftsman ones that are probably 20+ years old. Christmas present from my wife one year. I have never had one slip or make things worse by rounding. The bolt or nut has always turned but sometimes the bolt breaks. I like the hex bottom so I can use a 1/2" drive deep well socket and impact on them for exhaust studs.

Loved the video sir, thank you and we wish you the best!

When using Vise Grips, adjustable wrench, Channel Locks, always turn toward the moveable jaw. The way you had vise grips on the bolt head first was the correct way. Sounds crazy but it really does make a difference. Think of it like using a pipe wrench where you HAVE TO turn toward the adjustable or moving jaw or it won't bite at all. To remove this bolt I would have used a heat gun to heat the pan up around the bolt. Yes, it will heat the bolt also but the hole, nut, female threaded portion will ALWAYS expand faster than the bolt because the hole has less mass. After heating about 5min, hit it with a shot of CRC freeze off. Wait about 1-2 mins. Wipe the bolt head clean/dry. Then get a good bite on the bolt head with vise grips the same way you did the first try in the video and that bolt should come loose without much sweat. There are, of course times were you can't get the vise grips on the right way. When this happens, put them on the other way and get them super tight.

Just wanted to say thank you. Watched the video on flushing the transmission which Im in the middle of, but 1 bolt on the pan was stripped and the more I tried to get it off, the worse it stripped. Your video on how to remove stripped bolts, i did the drimmel and cut a straight line then used the flathead and hammer to break it loose. Thank you!!!!!

Thanksm your videos are alway very helpful.

Great Video Bro.. Thanks for the tips and I'm going to buy me a Socket set that's for extracting stripped bolts!!

Thanks for the video. You kept me from stripping my oil plug further. The darn garage had tightened it too much last fall. I usually do my own. Can you give me advice, please? If I get my nut out should I not use it again? (It's still got good edges I think). Thanks for any help. Was wondering if I should just suck it up and take it to different garage? Have a good week.

Simple but saved me on a battery replacement. Thx!

Finally busted out the right tool for the job well done

Great video thanks. Any recommendations on how to remove a welded frame bolt that broke while unscrewing a sway bar bolt off? It’s spinning on both ends and vise grips keep slipping on round mount. Maybe a bolt splitter?

I just want to take time out to thank you for your suggestion (hammering on a slightly smaller [bolt extraction] socket on a rounded bolt) In my case it was a crankshaft pulley bolt... now I have some kid on youtube to thank for his Dewalt dcf899 impact drill suggestion that I combined with this idea! ...man! I was ready to cry out of frustration!

Very good suggestions. Thank you. The tool you mentioned is good.

With vise grip you can use a very large pair of channel locks to clamp the grips to the tightest it can go. Once it's off use the channel locks to snap the release mechanism on the vise grips to open them.

Good tutorial but here a few tips. You put the vice grips on backwards. You want the short jaw to face the direction you are turning, 2. To remove the extractor, try leaving the ratchet on and grab the lugs with the vice grips and back it off.
