HS-411 Bolts Stripped ARG*
Well to make a long story short. I bought a cheap POS torque wrench from Harbor Freight. I might as well have flushed the money down the toilet. It doesn't work and I stripped two AN3 bolts that go through HS-411 to the HS-603 spar. One nut backed off fine but the other one wont back off. I tried using a vise grip and pulling the nut as I turned it. Does anyone have any ideas how I can back this sucker off?

BTW. I returned the torque wrench and bought one from sears that works like a champ. I had to order some extra bolts from Van's.
