Driveshaft bolts
 
I had my breaker bar with a 12mm socket and started removing the driveshaft bolts. The last one stripped on me. What should I do now to get this off..Help!

A good-sized set of Vise-Grips and some really tight adjustment, and you should be able to get it off. A good hit with a propane torch will help significantly, as the Loctite will liquefy at propane temps. I'd suggest hitting the 'grips with a mini-sledge hammer, that way you're "impacting" it off. Good luck. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif
