Well I wanted to remove the encoder motor on the transfer case of my 2000 blazer LT and when I went to remove the 4 (11mm) bolts of the UJoint, they were all rounded to the point where I can't put enough torque on them for removal..

Is there a place where I can buy those bolts, and what specs are they? thread and length?

Thanks!

Btw, removing them with this kind of kit will work you think?? 10 pc. Damaged Bolt/Nut Remover Set, Low Profile Bolt-Out- Craftsman-Tools-Auto & Mechanics Tools-Taps & Dies

Or should I cut the head of the bolts and unscrew the bolt with a vise grip?

Also, should I apply some heat before working on those, looks like they were over torqued or something.. And yes I chewed them a bit trying to work them out with no luck..

 

A little heat wouldn't hurt. I would say that extractor kit would do the job well. I have a similar one at home and worked great the time I needed it. I'd ask GM the pitch and grade of the retaining bolt, and find some at canadian tire for pennies ;0

Thanks, I'll give it a try..
