Urgent!!! Sears Bolt-out
Anyone near me have a Sears Bolt-out kit?
Trying to remove my seats and one of the bolt heads is stripped. Tried my Metwrinch set and that couldn't get it either.
Also, does anyone have any spare seat bolts lying around?

The best part was the hammer!

I had one that was so bad (thanks to a PO) that the bolt-out couldn't even get it out

He bought a Honda (Duh).
I gave up on trying... that was in the 91 I had. I would have had to cut the head off and then try to get at it from underneath; it wasn't worth the hassle for me.

I don't recal... oh wait...
Hehhe...
Well, I didn't see much, as my head was under Sharpie's hood, but what I recall hearing was something like this:
(Screccccccch)
TC: Nothing to see here. Everythings fine.
Altiain: I don't think braking his car is the best first impression we can give the new guy. Besides.. I don't want to piss him off... he has a table and I brought my pool cue.
Bean: This bolt isn't beating me. Something is going to break
Mick: Lets hope it isn't his car.
(Screccccccch.... BANG)
TC: Nothing to see here. Every things fine.
Bean: Got it. Told ya I could get it ya bastards!
Yes... and now I have mud flaps!
You missed the important part right after that when I said "Get me a bigger hammer. We haven't knocked it on their far enough. No... Seriously. A REAL hammer.

That may have been when we were running my wannabe shop vac trying to get the pieces of broken spark plug out of Sharpie's engine.
I should have seen your tendency for breaking things on other people's cars early on...
I didn't touch the plug. I just offered up the anemic shop vac.
Yeah yeah that's it. Titus did it. It was you guys messin' with his car that distracted me and caused me to lose my train of thought, yeah that's it. I got lucky it was so simple to fix. And thankfully TC came up with old spark plug to get me running again. Now the day can be forgotten about for awhile.

The wonderful previous owner of my car completely rounded off one of the seat bolts then broke off a drill bit in it trying to use a screw extractor I presume.I used a large chisel and BFH to break it loose and used vise grips to work it out. What a pita!

Napa carries grade 8 bolts in the metric size that fits the seats just fine.
It was yet another example of missing screws, nuts, bolts, and other misc small parts I have had to buy for the spec project.
