Help, stripped a 6mm nut, what do I do

[tougasm]

I finally got a 6mm allen socket to get the screws above the coolant intake pipes, but stripped one, I hammered a larger allen socket in and doesnt work, looks like i stripped it. These things are a pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do I post a pic. I took the bottom coolant pipe out but the top is stuck with this screw in it.

Try to tap it with a small bit and use a reverse rotation extractor bit. If that doesn't work you will have to actually drill the head off the bolt and try yanking it out while turning and worst case scenario you'll have to drill the entire depth than re-tap and heli-coil.

got sick up it, drilled out the nut and pried the coolant intake tube off, will have to buy a new one, now I can see the waterpump but its bottom half is covered , can i take it off without removing the cover, Im going to have the buy some new parts the way Ive been hacking through the engine.

To do it right you should take off the crank pulley and cover (I've never done it any other way so I don't even know if its possible, id guess not)
