So i'm fucking stupid and now this bolt is stuck
 

I have a 06 zx-6r and I was installing some race rails on it (they're basically the top half of a stunt cage). You pull out the old motor mount bolts and then replace them with longer ones and run them through the rails and the motor mounts.

The rails that I got didn't come with bolts and I had to go find some from the hardware store. The one that I found for the front right seemed like it would be perfect but it wasn't. It was a normal 6 sided bolt and it slides into the race rail down a little bit of pipe. When the bolt is in the pipe there is basically no clearance between the bolt and the walls and so you can't fit a socket in there to tighten it down.

Well my genius idea was to take a hack saw and cut the top of the bolt to make it work for a flat head screwdriver. This is already a bad idea but I rushed and didn't even make the cut deep enough. Long story short I got the bolt in but it won't come out.

I am completely stumped as to how to get this bolt out. Any ideas?

post a pic, i kinda understand but i have no idea how much room you have

drill it use a easy out and start over duh

It's a big bolt. drilling it out would be a huge bitch.

as for space, there's enough to fit a flathead on each side of the bolt head but not much else.

Drilling it out completely would be a bitch, but what about just drilling a hole to get an easy out to grip in there? Just use big enough easy out that it doesn't snap. And you deffinately need to use a socket head cap screw for that

HOW IN THE HELL DID U MANAGE THAT, I SAY CUT OUT THE SIDE THEN WELD IT BACK, IF A MAGNET ISNT STRONG ENOUGH

Re: So i'm fucking stupid and now this bolt is stuck
 

well guessing from your miss hap you are not able to weld another bolt to it, way to hard being drilling a bolt is difficult

Re: So i'm fucking stupid and now this bolt is stuck
 

it's about 3-4 inches in there so welding a bolt in there would be not super likely to happen.

center punch the damn bolt and drill it out 1/2 in depth and use a easy out quit winning like a school girl and do it
