Tutorial: Stripped Bolt Removal

One minute, you’re happily unscrewing bolts, and the next, you’re at a standstill because your bolt is stripped! Bolts get stripped for many reasons, and today is not about pointing fingers. It’s about getting that bolt out; we’ve all been there. Any seasoned mechanic will grab a drill and go to town to get it out. If you don’t even understand that last sentence, don’t worry, one day you will. 

In this video tutorial, Shane shows us an easier way to pull a stripped bolt. We hope this helps you!

Keep Wrenching,
Shane Conley & the Motorcycle Missions Crew
