I had to cut through the spacer with a sawzall/multimaster. Once I was able to relieve the pressure the bolt created, it spun right out.
Ruined a $30 blade doing it.
I tried, but couldn't pound a torx bit into mine. It's worth a try.
GL, beer helps. :drinking: :drinking:

yeah, I was thinking i might have to cut through the spacer, but only as a last resort.

I tried using an extractor set but there's SO LITTLE room to even get a drill in that space!

a torx is what I was regularly using to install/remove that bolt, but i'm afraid that's what eventually stripped it. i used a hex drive this time, and of course, stripped that son'bisch....
