i cant take the damn top bolts off, from under the hood to get the strut assembly off. the more i turn my sockets, the more i strip the bolt, how do i romove those!

Alot of WD-40 and a cheater bar!

i put some wd 40, so i'll give it some time, lets see if it works.

My Bad on the Double Post

its hopeless, damn things wont come offx( !!!!!, i even stripped one of them pretty bad.......SHIT!!!!

Get a socket that is a bit too small and hammer it on there. You probably WON'T be able to use the socket again, but it will do the trick.

well, i guess i have to try that, cuz i stipped that bolt big time! and my socket got all jacked up. whats up with these damn bolts?

well, that didnt work! shit so damn stripped now. how the hell am i gonna go about taking this damn bolt off now? anyone else had this prob?........h e l p ! !

is it possible to remove the spring without taking the top tower bolts off?......im just trying to put my lowering springs on.

get one of those stripped bolt tools...like 20 bucks?

Put vice grips on it. That always works for my stipped bolts. Also make shure you are using a six point socket set.

the vice grips didnt work! so i guess i gotta get that strip bolt tool....ill go give the vice grips one more try!

If the vice grips didnt work and nackers idea didnt work then one of those stripped bolt tools wont work either. What we used to have to do when we had rusted/ seized bolts on our bikes was to use a dremel and a cutting wheel. Cut the nut off. Cut vertically on the nut from top to bottom. you probably wont be able to cut all the way through without hitting the threads, but thats ok. Cut as much as you can and then get a big burly flathead. jam it in there and hit it with a mallet. The nut should snap off. Then you will have to buy a new one of course... lol

Good luck

Hit me up on IM if you need more directions.
