Shifter Bushings

[nooberiffic]

Was replaceing my shifter bushings per tech library. Well, two of the three torx screws were partially stripped. Enough that it stripped my T25 piece. I tried T27 and they are too big. Am I just going to have to drill it out? Any other way anyone can think off to get them out?

cmon guys, I know im reaching and will prob just have to drill them out... but any ideas?

try to either hammer in a bigger torx bit, or even a hex bit. you could also try using a dremel with a thin cut-off wheel and put a slot in the screw, then use a straight screw driver.

Stuck bolts are something that experienced mechanics know how to deal with.....

By many different methods.

We take it in stride.

Explaining all the different methods? That's a bit much...

Frankly I'd take a drill to it and drive an EZ out into it.
IF that failed I'd next cut a screwdriver slot across the screw head
with an air powered 3" muffler cutoff tool "wizzer wheel"
