I buggered a hub/bearing mounting bolt on a 96 dodge grand caravan.
I couldn't use a box wrench on the 15mm bolt because the ABS tone wheel is in the way.
In addition the bolt itself seems to be in between sizes. 15mm, 5/8, & 19/32 too big &14mm too small.
Can anyone please help me?

?? Can you get a six point socket or wrench in there? Try 9/16 for a rounded 15mm and hammer it on - could trash tool and bolt is done anyway - up to you. If you have any decent shot at it there are tools for "stud extraction" that may work,

Go to your local parts house and ask for a socket that will remove rounded bolts and nuts. Thet are an easy way to remove them. They are helical cut to grab harder the more you try to loosen them.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
