What I feel most comfortable with, at the moment, is driving a slightly oversized Torx bit into the rounded out head and going from there.I hear, loud and clear, the advice to avoid going crazy with the Easy Outs. That, right there, might have saved me some pain."drill the head off the bolt - "I could _probably_ drill off the head of the bolt and remove the coolant pipe, but I'm concerned that there wouldn't be enough bolt material left for me to grab onto, so I'll save that tip for later."Beat a slightly smaller SAE socket onto the head" - this is a possibility, but all of my sockets have a slight taper to help them slide onto a bolt head or nut, so I'd probably want to grind that away in order to get a full bite.Thanks for those and the rest of the tips. I'll let y'all know how it turns out. Hoping it doesn't go to hell in a handbasket. <img src="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
