I bought a screw extractor set from Amazon but couldnt actually fit it in the very tight area inside a split rim of an electric scooter trying to fix a flat. Thinking my new $1000 scooter was doomed, I tried your method and in under a minute - REMOVED! Thanks for this trick!
..well, I have a square hole not unlike the old fashioned diff plugs. It's a bung provided for an after market sensor. It's rusted in to the head. I will try that trick.
Try it on heavy duty brake caliper bolts with a 10mm size hex nut. Impossible. EZ outs won’t even work due to the caliber bolts installed with thread locker from the factory. Sometimes things are just broken.
if you cant hit it with a hammer maybe it would be best to try another removal method. but you could try using some big channel locks and see if that gets it
If the original bolt was a 6mm, why didn't you use a 7mm verse the 8mm? Is this to ensure a bigger bite than a 7mm? I have this issue on my axle clamp bolt and stressed over what to do because, if I can't get that bolt out, it is a $2300 part without factoring gin labor!! Cheap ass bolts.
Man. This worked the first time, both times I had to do it. Genius. If you are looking for a method that works, this one does. 👍

Try crawling under a truck and removing a rounded Allen head diff bolt. It's not easy!
How’s you get it out I’m in the same boat here lol
Thx you for the great idea had them lying around never used until today 😁👍🏻
Stripped my shock tube, hoping this works. Excellent job on the video.

What if there is no access to hammer it in?

Does this ruin the triple square bit?
No. Most bolts tend to be softer than the bit
Of course it will!!

Torq... it is a torx bit. Only works if you are in a wide open space and have lots of room to swing a hammer.
Those husky tools suck.. they snap like toothpicks
Doesn't fuckin work with Chinese metal.... U just strip it again
Exactly my thoughts.
