well thats always a good question when that happens. sometimes you can beat a larger allen in. if that doesnt work you might have to drill a hole in the bolt and use an "ez-out" tool to get it out. you can pick them up at any autoparts store. the trick is getting the hole drilled in the bolt. good luck if your liek me i get real mad at it real fast.

I replaced one of mine just a month ago and it was definately Torx....matter of fact had a hell of a time getting a socket/ratchet in there (it was the top one). I pulled the fan cowling bolts and moved the cowling up a few inches to allow getting in to the bolt. It was a 45 maybe?? I know for sure it was Torx.

Knock or cut pulley off so you can get to the bolt. remove it with visegrips or small pipe wrench.
