After that, try an Impact driver with the largest screwdriver bit in. Might just be enough to break it loose, without shearing it. If it takes the head off, but the bolt stays, get the power drill, centre punch, and progressivley bigger metal bits out. You can usually drill it out close enough if youa re carefull, to actually spin the remaining treads of the old bolt out with a punch as a drift. That of course is the last resort. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
