shock mounting bold stripped on lower rear 380sl
 
When I installed new rear shocks on my 380sl I stripped one of the lower bolts that holds the shock in. How do I get the bolt out and replace it with a new one. I know it comes out because mercedes sells a special bolt for it?

not sure
 
what your configuration is but you can often drill out with a drill that is a little smaller than the center of the bolt, then tap the threads clean with a tap.

be careful and meticulous and you should be ok.

good luck
