Ok so my miata is a 200K 1991 NA with the 1.6. and apparently every time the previous owner did any work on the car he gorrilla torqued each and every bolt he replaced! i have never stripped the heads off so many bolts on an car i've ever worked on before.

alright now for the problem. for starters the starter is a bitch to get to (pun intended). then we have the the gorilla griped bolts. i rounded the head off the first bolt i tried to remove. with a 6 sided socket. so i broke out my trusty craftsman bolt extractor thinggys that have yet to let me down, and went at the aforementioned starter bolt with a 1/2 drive.... and you guessed it the bolt extractor stripped!!!!

the only thing i know to do now is either take it to a mechanic, which i really can't afford right now, or pull the motor so i can weld on another bolt head and hit with an impact gun.

neither of which i really want to do...
