I've never stripped one, but a few felt like they were ready to slip before it broke loose. Try giving it a little "love tap" before you turn and your first turn with the cheater bar should be a quick snap! Not a gentle slow torque. Sometimes oil gets down in there after time and acts like locktight. Good luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
