Re: Geting out rounded bolts.

I'm suprised Auto 1 don't have easy outs, I'm sure I've seen them at my local store. It's like a tapered screw, but the spiral/thread goes backwards. So once you've drilled a hole in the stuck bolt, you start threading this in, but anti-clockwise, and once the taper gets a grip it'll spin the bolt out.
You could try chiseling into the sides of it then using the chisel or a screwdriver with a hammer to knock it 'round so it undoes.
EDIT: plus give it a squirt with WD40 or penetrene or the like, the longer it can soak the better.
