I am having an issue with the 15mm bolt in the center of the cam phaser on the passenger side. It is stripped tried bolt gripping sockets as well as banging a smaller bolt onto the bolt head nothing is working, is there anything I can do to remove this bolt?

Yes, you get your magic wand out and wave it over the bolt and it will come out, just kidding can you upload a picture of the problem so I can see so I can help walk you through the repair?

Thank you, Ken, but we did get the bolt out by cutting into the washer flange on the bolt once we did it came right out by unscrewing it with my fingers.
