How the hell did you do that?

 

There are easier ways than a sawzall...

German allen bolts seem to have heads made of very soft steel, I can see how it would happen.

 

I've had luck sacrificing a Torx bit or a SAE-sized allen that is larger, jamming it in and using an impact (hammer-driven), not on these specifically.

It is a puzzle why the heads seem soft, my Harley uses allens everywhere and they never strip.

 

Wow!

 

If you had to do it again? Looks like you tried a few different approaches.

I'm guessing that was the bolt on the trans side.

 

why not just drill the bolt out..lol

 

Please step away from the toolbox....

 

I think it would be hard to fit a drill up there. Can't quite remember. Been a while since I've been under one of these things.

 

These are the best bet most likely, for an allen head
