Suggestions for a stripped bolt



Replace the bolt...

How's the hole? ;)
If that's jammed up, you can run a tap through it, 8x1.25.

Apparently I have made the volkswagen gods angry.

So one of my six bolts on the inner side of the half shaft stripped.  Yes I
cleaned the crap out of it and yes I even tapped the bit in with a crescent
hammer.  They were all really hard to break loose and this one stripped
right out.  Smooth clean and silvery looking in there now.

So now what?  A dremel?  Suggestions would be great.

Thanks
Chris
