Bolt won't come out
I've got a particular bolt that is giving me trouble.
I can twist the bolt and I see it (threads and head) spinning, but its not backing out.
I'm sure the threads on the clip are probably stripped.
I'm looking for suggestions to get the bolt out?
I suppose I could cut it out.
FYI, its one of the bolts holding the headlight housing to the core support.
Thanks,
Mike

Some of them have a clip on the backside that will break and spin. See if you can get to the backside, if there is no clip you may be able to apply pressure to the bolt outwards while turning.
