Woods L59 bolt

[john2189]

My woods mower with the left hand spindle bolt is worn and rounded off. 6 point socket slips off What would be the best way to remove it? Grind the head off and hope there is enough bolt for a pipe wrench to grip it? I don’t have a welder to weld something to it, or a torch to heat it.
Any suggestions welcome
John

Folks have had success with a tool like these bolt extractors:

Make sure you are turning the correct direction! :shock:

Weld a nut on it then try to remove.

weld a nut to it as Jeff said, the heat may also help it to be removed also

He already stated he has no equipment to weld anything to it... :?

Ok got it. Put a cut off wheel on my grinder to cut the head off. Got about half way through and tried pipe wrench and it came right out. Probably the heat and taking some pressure off it made it loose enough to come out
