Re: Stripped ALLEN bolt.. ANY IDEAS?
Sounds good and i might even give it a shot.. but the thing is torqued on tight.. so I don't know if it will work..
My idea if you are still stumped: (hope not)
Dont know what type of angle you have on it, but maybe notch the outside edge like this "v" and outside edge, place a flat head or punch on the "v" you made and try to tap it with a hammer in the direction you are trying to turn it. sounds wierd, but I have done it before. But it is hard to see the room you have to work with around that particular piece.

Re: Stripped ALLEN bolt.. ANY IDEAS?
TY for the help guys.. Welding seems like the way to get these bitches off.. And will I have to replace the rocker shalf since the easy out seems to be stuck in it and if I see no damage once i pull it out is it safe to put it back in?

I can't say since I don't know much about welding yet, but I will say make sure you have a good welder tac the bolt on. I had to try a similar idea (mick actually gave it to me) a while back when I broke a banjo bolt off inside a brake caliper, needless to say my inexperience with a welder warranted replacing of the caliper
And if your unsure of the rocker arm, have a good shop or machinist look it over
