LT1 Steam tube bolt
I stripped the head and it was very easy, now does anybody have an idea on how to get it out?
It is a 15mm bolt right??

Yep, 15mm six point socket/box end is what fits.
You may have to resort to the old stand-by methods - heat, spray on thread lube, pipe wrench, vice-grips, etc.
It'll come out, eventually, yet finding a replacement may be a little tough. On another Forum, a guy had the same problem and ended up destroying the bolt getting it out. He found one on EBay, but the price wass $80.00!!!
I had two and sent them to him for free. He may need only one and if that's the case, he's going to return the un-needed one to me. If he does and if you find you need it, let me know and I'll send it to you.
