| If the heads of the bolts are ok try using a impact wrench with a impact socket. If the head of the bolt snaps off you can heat the bolt shaft with oxy, once you have removed the cylinder head. |

lol, I remember my bolt snapping experience... snapped the intake thermostat bolt. the one that goes into the cylinder head... oh man, drilled a whole for the extractors... snapped a drill bit inside (a good drill bit), bigger drill bit, snap, so forth after 3 drill bits, a just used a slighter bigger one, got a whole, stuck in the extractor, snap. lol, had to get one of the guys from on here, to come over, and drill it out... took him a WHILE.
Anyway, moral of the story... don't snap bolts? don't snap driill bits in bolts? and definately don't snap thos extractors inside... lol.
Sad days of my life...

| Just give the bolt head a good smack with a hammer and punch, this should 'crack' the bolt head and threads enough to get it out easily. |

I had trouble getting 2 of my head bolts out of an AU the secret is always use an impact socket, they have a thicker outside wall and wont round the heads off the bolts if you use any normal sockets the will definately round atleast 1 of the bolts.
Moral of the story use the right tool to start with and you shouldn't have any problems. |

as jay said. always use a 6 point impact socket. if that socket ever rounds even one bolt, throw it away and get a new socket.
if the bolt stil won't come out, belt s**t outta the head of the bolt until the socket won't go on, then hammer the socket on. next step is to do stuff like mentioned above. |

| This works with rounded head bolts, smash a e10 socket (female torx bit) on the bolt head and remove like normal, it works like an interference fit and the cause of the shape internally it bites into the head of the bolt thus creating a tight reliable grip |

| I found a socket design called Metrinch got my rounded head bolts out. I tried drilling, different sockets etc didn't work, til a mate told me about this type. It pulls on the flats of the bolt instead of the corners. Worked for me!!! |
