Ah those ones are a right bugger!!

If the threads have stripped and its just spinning you'll have to cut it off, not much access though!

Do you mean a head stud for the manifold or similar?

Have you stripped the thread in the hole on the important bit or just the outside of the stud?

That is entirely removable though and can be replaced with any old M6/8/10 that you have lying about.

But you'll still have to cut it in half to get it out...

Right so if the bolt is stripped then just pull it out?

Or am I missing something?

The nut is spinning on the bolt Chris, stripped/crossed threads, cant tighten or loosen it... It's happened to me a couple of times.

Edit - Just to check, you are counter holding the head aren't you? If not, it will spin lol.

Is the nut still on it??
Does it budge at all?
Have you tried over tightening it to shear it?
