CV joint bolt removal (stripped head)

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

better check for a layer of grease+dirt in that hole. the 12 pt should go into the hole about a full
1/4". i've thought those were stripped before when in fact the driver wouldnt go in far enough and
only stripped the outer 1/8th. easily removed once the dirt was cleared out of the hole.
