I'm rebuilding my alternator and I can't get the alternator pulley off because the torx head bolt is stripped! Any ideas on how to get it off? Thanks in advance!

 

You could use a chisel and hammer or if you know someone with an impact. I've used the chisel method and works fine but tears up the nut a bit.

Impact.

Hold the blades with a rag around your hand and hit it with the impact gun.

Works every time.

They aren't usually that tight.
