stripped unit bearing bolt head. 92 Cherokee d30.

Obviously there's is very little room there and not enough room for vice grips.

Ideas?:miff: :miff: :miff: :miff:

Use a grinder & cut the whole head off. Pull it out with the stud still in the bearing & deal with it on the bench.

Next time use a 12 point socket.

EZ out go to that diameter? Or weld another nut on it.

you're screwed. swap out the axle for a "new" one. Actually can youo grind it a little or smash a smaller socket onto it?

Heat it up then air hammer with a chisel end and work it off.

Weld a big ass nut to it.

You mean 6 point socket?

You mean 6 point socket?

nope its a 12 point bolt

 

[mpwal099]

no he means 12 point. 6 point may be what rounded it off in the first place.

Yep, Weld a big nut on it and the heat will help loosen it too.

Ask it nicely to come off. All ya gotta do is reason with them...

Oooo I remember my dodge had a bolt like that 12 point 9/16's or something like that.

that'd be ideal, but there's not enough room in there for a grinder.

The socket was a 12 pt, I have no idea why it stripped.



This unit bearing is disposable, I have a spare and do not need to worry about saving this one.

This one is a 12 point, 13MM.

drill the bolt out of the nut. Then break the nut off with a chisel.. Bolts probly is hardened but it'w worth a try i think..

 

[mpwal099]

it'd be a bitch, but could you get a sawzall in there with a crap load of blades by your side?

 

[ovrlnd]

as mentioned above weld a nut on there.
or heat it with a torch till it's glowing red and try some pliers???

 

[Weasal]

Room for a router with cut off wheel?

 

[mpwal099]

just checked on mine. you can get a sawzall blade in there if welding the nut isn't an option. If you need a hand holler I can swing by and help.
