drill the head off the bolt and take the cap off then turn the bolt out with visegrips...

[dodgeramsport]

will there be enough sticking out? im about to buy new lockouts and grind the caps off

[wayne w]

drilling is the only i no

[MR NASTY]

Yup drill the heads off like lilred said. You could have heated the hub up where the bolts go down in it but if they're already striped might as well drill them.

[damn_ford]

drillem, there will be lots sticking out. about 3/4 of an inch. they stick in the caps, you can usually take the stud out thats left with your fingers

Yes, did it before..works great

[dodgeramsport]

Well I need new lockouts any ways and the caps are worn bad by the screw holes in spots

new lockouts wouldnt be a bad investment...

[dodgeramsport]

It's a great investment I just hate spending money lol

well ya had to basically destroy the old ones to get them out.... and if theres slop in the turn dial theres a good chance somethin may break or fall off and get caught in the bearings

a lot of times i have issues with the old screws not wanting to come out, so i got a set of craftsman easy out things, and they work great everytime
