    Default LF: Very small, quick weld job. Help!

    Hi guys,

    Im looking to get a nut welded to my differential drain bolt because the allen key bolt is stripped and I cant get it off (whoever worked on this truck before over torqued the crap out of this bolt).

    Everything is easily accessible and I can come to you. Just a small, quick job but it would really help me out!

    Let me know your asking price, if you want beer, lunch, w/e.

    Thanks!

    Vice grips are your friend, or a cold chisel and a hammer.

    Sorry, typo. It's one of those stupid allen key bolts, not hex. What a dumb design. Welding is my only option now!

    I can help you out if it can wait until after the weekend. Won't be pretty as I'm no expert welder, but I'm sure I could make it strong enough to gronch it outta there.

    Apply heat/hammer in a bigger sized Torx socket. Then you should be good to go.
