Demon bolt 2.0!!!! last bolt of the throttle body. I can't get it off. I tried cutting a slot with dremel for a flat head screwdrive and hammer a socket in to use with a socket wrench, but I can't get that damn thing off. Any idea???!!!

I slightly grinded the top and bottom to make it almost like an oval then I tapped a smaller socket in with a hammer.Once it came off I just went to a bolt supply store and found a similar one to replace the old one with.Its the same principal as removing lock nuts without a key.HOW TO REMOVE A LOCK NUT WITHOUT A KEY - YouTube

Vice grips are your friend! Or you could get that think that drills a pilot hole in the head of the screw, and drills in the opposite direction. Those work good

got it off with some WD-40, and more socket hammering. Tried vice grip but can't get a good grip coz of the tight area, but now I gained a set of vice grip in my tool box :tup:
