Stripped temp sender

When I was attempting to take the temp sender out of the block, I stripped the heck out of it. I was at kind of an awkward angle, and the 2nd or 3rd turn I rounded it off. Seems like it's brass, or some other really soft metal. What would yall suggest?

Try a 6 point socket if it's not too rounded.

Eh, it may be too far gone. Any other tools that anyone could recomend?

Can ya get some vise-grips or a monkey wrench on it?

I *might* be able to bet some needle nose vise-grips around it. Monkey wrench...not a chance. If I can't fix it tommorow, I'm gonna take it to the stealership. I think my blood pressure becomes more important at a certain point.

The offending bolt-sender-thing:

I did the same thing. Go to autozone or anywhere you can grab some IRWIN tools. They have a set that will take out stripped bolts and such. They are alittle pricey, but they have bailed me out numerous times since I used it to get the sender out. Here is the website to IRWIN tools...should show you what I mean... Good luck...its not the best place to have to perform surgery. Mine was cross threaded when I got it...so I had to re-cross thread it to get it to seal.

I bought a Craftsman "Bolt-out" set. Pretty much the same thing as the above post. Worked like a charm.
