Dammit...Stripped Valve Cover Bolt!

[goku4658]

Ok I took the head off one of the valve cover bolts today, after changing my spark plugs. I guess I overtightened it and it just cracked right off? Am I shit out of luck? How will I ever get the valve cover off again? Do I just bring it to a shop and they can help me? I suck.

there are tools to remove em. you drill a hole in the bolt and use an extractor.
