Yeah. The little ones. Its not round yet. But its close. The wrench wont stay on it, just puts up a little resistance, then gives. I stopped so it wouldnt get worse.

The last one I did fought me all the way. I had to use a torch to heat the turbo casting where the bolts thread in. That loosened them enough where the punch and hammer where able to get them to start turning.

How did you turn them with a punch? Or do you mean you hammered it until it vibrated loose, then used a wrench?

Yeah, its a tight one...

edit: I started a new thread because I thought that no one would see this one anymore. Thanks for not looking at the top five though Spectremac. Everyone else please go to the "Stripped bolt Head" topic.
