[QUOTE="Bullitt1448, post: 17030788, member: 155102"] Extracting the hood bolts won’t be easy with the hood on the car. It will be difficult to get the proper angle if you have to drill and any tooling you use could scratch the paint. I suggest removing the hood to work on it. Spay some penetrating oil on it as soon as you can and repeat until you are ready to attack it. With any luck you might be able to grab a numb of the bolt with vice grip and work it gently and very slowly back and forth if not you will have to drill it and try an easy out from the parts or tool store. Contrary to the name, it is never easy if you have to use them. There are also left hand drills available that sometimes will remove the bolts as you drill but I have never had much luck with those. YouTube is your friend for vids Good luck, it’s a tedious job but patience and working slowly will get it done, be sure to chase the threads once you get the bolts out. There is a possibility of breaking the captured nut loose in the hood if you try to force it too much too fast. [/QUOTE]
