This is driving me nuts and I have no idea how to get it to work. I am trying to take off my rear bumper, I've got all the bolts out. When I got to the last one It's stripped like no other bolt has ever been stripped. I need to get this but I can't.

Do any of you have any tips or anything on how to get this out? My trucks sitting in the garage right now and I would like to get this done before I have to leave somewhere.

Are you able to get a hacksaw in there and cut the bolt? or cut the bumper? Have you tried a torch?
If i wasn't at work right now...i'd give ya hand or at least a little extra brainstorming.

cut it off or maybe it you pulled out (vice grips?) on it while turning maybe the threads would catch?

Drill through the bolt, and knock the shavings out with a screw driver. Of course you'll need a new bolt.

Got it, I wasn't able to do anything but drill through it. So many problems with this, took me 4 hours and 1 broken socket wrench to get the dang thing off.
