Re: suggestions
you can get these things called stripped nut and bolt sockets i think thats what there called. but you can find them at advanced auto and other auto part stores. they are a great thing to have around the house. just go to the auto parts store and tell them you need something to get a stripped bolt out and theyl find it for you.

Flywheel to crankshaft bolts?
Engine in the car?
How did you manage to strip those?!?
Heat it up with a propane torch, then hit it with an upside-down can of compressed air. It probably has red loctite on it. After you do that, heat it up, and use a small pipe wrench on the bolt. Once you get it moving you'll be able to use vice grips.

Re: suggestions
I destroyed a bolt on my 2002 dodge ram drive shaft flange(like 15mm if I remember right, maybe 17mm) that had a ungodley amount of loc-tite on it from the factory. I was about to try and drill them out when I bought a bolt and nut remover socket set like afida15 is talking about. I was shocked on how well they worked! Saved me a huge headache. I haven't need them again, yet, but I am really happy I bought them.
If what sonix is saying doesn't work, try doing the same thing with a manual impact socket adapter with the stripped bolt remover socket. Did that make sense? Hammering the manual impact should knock the loc-tite loose.
