[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 434940, member: 19498"] Tapping the heads with a hammer often breaks the rusty crusties loose and the come out. If their still torx and the heads are trashed use the hole for a guide to drill them out. Ive had better luck with left hand drill bits when hoping to remove frozen in bolts or screws and often the unscrew themselves while drilling. Use the correct size drill required for the bolts used as if you were making new screw holes. If you over do it drill wise you might have to retap the holes to clean them up if you didnt use to big of drill. [/QUOTE]
