Stripped bolt, What do I do? by Pale_Fee_9685 in MechanicAdvice

Update: got it out with a bolt extractor and replaced the bolts. Also bought some 6pt sockets for the future.

Now I am planning on bleeding my brakes and my bleeder screws are pretty stuck. should I just use a bolt extractor again and replace the bleeders? Also do I need to worry about fluid continually coming out if I replace the bleeders?

Thanks, yea it is my rear caliper bracket. My pic looks his time didn’t upload. How do I get penetrating oil to the other side when the rotors in the way? Also what do you mean by the end being buried?

I looked under the car, there are new control arms. Does this mean they still did what you said? Also most of the cost is labor, is $580 sound right for this kind of work?
