hey guys, apon doing a service i managed to round the hex hole in the under crankcase screen bolt, and yes i was actually using the right tool for the job, and previously set it to factory torque setting i think the engine heat has resulted in the bolt expanding and as a result i applied to much force and something had to give and fortunatly it was the hex insert in the bolt. im wondering if anyone else had this problem how you got the bolt undone or what you can reccomend.
i dont think an easy out will work due to the excess tension needed
i tried flogging the next size driver into the rounded hole but no luck
tried heating the engine and freezing the bolt
im thinking of welding another bolt to it just to get it out
love to hear your thoughts
