Stripped Engine Mount bolt!

[jayjeff333]

Hey guys! Today I stripped one of the bolts underneath the car that hold the engine in place. Therefore, i cant take off the engine now, and i need to. How do i get this dubm bolt off? I was thinknig drilling through it, btu i may damage the threads from the engine mount piece?

get a bigger drill bit and drill off the head. it will leave part of the shaft. then remove the motor mount and use vice grips to get the shaft out.

option 2:

get a dremel with cut off wheel and make a straight slot that a flat screwdriver will fit into.

Did option 1 today as i had some time and a drill, no dremel. Drilled off head, took off the motor, and i was able to unscrew the rod shaft by hand...All is good, thanks guys!
