Bellhousing bolts

[I-like-waffles]

I am in the process of changing the clutch in my 93, 2WD explorer. The tranny is completely ready to come out, except that I think I stripped one of my bellhousing bolts. Now Im stuck. I don't know what I should do to get the bolt out.

Any ideas?

Welcome to this forum! Could you grab the head of the bolt with a Vice Grip, and turn the bolt while pulling on it?

I doubt it. I had to use a breaker bar and alot of force to get all the other bolts off.

Does it keep turning without backing out?

no its not turning. I might try and hammer a smaller soccet onto it

It doesn't sound like it's stripped if it's not turning. It might be seized on or just super tight. Try a 1/2" breaker bar.
