Help!!!

So I am removing the front bumper and to do so you need to take off 2 bolts in the wheel well under the fender liner on each side. Well one of the harder ones to get to is stripped! How can I get this off? I've tried to hammer on a 9mm (the bolt is a 10mm) but there is not enough space to do it. What do I do?

Spray it with some PB blaster and see if you can get a pair of channel locks on it would be my recommendation.

Trying to recall when I removed mine. Think I man-handled my well liner out of the way. You have the wheel turned all the way 'in' on the troublesome side correct? Might need to go from the bottom up, remove skid plate and see if you can gain access that way.

I may go buy a bolt extractor socket.

Or you could go that route. I picked up the $30-40 one from sears and it payed itself off in the first use.

DFS meant "et voilà". Gotta add that "et" (and) in front.

Sure wish I knew how to access the extended character set on this iPad. I had to Google the term, then copy-and-paste.
