ok-ive been trying to get a bolt from my seat out of my fd...stripped the hell out of it and tried to get a big screw in there after piloting it to catch on the way out...however it doesn't. So basically, I've got a screw with a hole in it 3/4 of the way down and need some advice on how to get it out!

Cut the head off it with a cutting wheel on an angle grinder then take your seat out. After the seat is out of the way take the reminder of the bolt out with vise grips. I like BigTurbo74's suggestion also.

I'd cut it out and then repair it as necessary wether it be welding on a new nut to thread a bolt into, or what not.
