How do I take the bolt out of my ecm the bolt is stripped and broke Im trying to change the ecm and bolt

try using a scan tool to reset the ECM and cpu programs where the immobilizer is located . removing a battery lead activates the immobilizer and that may be the reason for the light or lack of light

you will have to have the key programmed to the different immobilizer and the immobilizer programmed to the ECM

Drill a hole down the center of the bolt and use a bolt extractor

change it

Well there are a few things you could do. Most auto parts stores sell special sockets to remove stripped bolts, auto zone, pep boys, i think even harbor freit carries them, just make sure you get the right size. Or what sometimes works if the nut is stripped enough is to grab a socket one size down from the size of the nut and hammer that ****** onto the stripped nut and then twist it off. Or your third option would be to cut em off and get new bolts. Hope that helps Good Luck!

Bummer, your only option is to address why the bolt will not tighten, either the wrong bolt (too short) or stripped threads. If threads are stripped, use a helicoil to repair. Be certain to allow straight access as this step must be perfect or larger problems will result.

If you have enough left take a cold chisel and tap it with a hammer so it will cut into the bolt in the direction you want it to turn. Don't try to cut it off just to vibrate it enough to loosen it. It might take awhile.

Head jobs take time, patience, and most importantly a book. As far as the bolts, take the allen head into the parts store and find a Torx bit that is slightly bigger and beat it into the stripped bolt head, loosen and replace the bolts with new ones. Good luck.
