Looks like 92153D and 92200
Thanks!
I see 92200 says washer. I don't have a washer on mine. Is it one of the white plastic washers or steel?

I saw on another thread recently somebody said to strategically weld a nut to it, I don't have a welder in my garage but maybe you do?  :-\
 
Good luck MP, that sucks bro...  :(

I would not try to weld, its too close to the plastic.

Sorry Brent, you know it's all in good fun. We've all been there, well, maybe not exactly THERE but you know what I mean.    :)

No worries, I can do some stuff, just don't have enough patients to do it flawlessly sometimes.

Yeah but I think the stud is stuck in the battery box cover, not the frame itself. It is still a steel stud stuck in an aluminum plate but at least the plate is removable and so can be repaired more easily and with less risk (not hacking into the frame itself). Worst case scenario is he would have to buy a new battery box cover, and they might even be available used these days.

He didn't get the bolt out, he twisted the head of it off.  Bolt is still in the frame......

I went thru the same issue when I was pulling the battery for winter storage. Three out of the 4 bolts I had to remove stripped out. I initially tried a bolt extractor with no luck. Then I tried drilling into the bolt with a bit that was smaller than the shank of the bolt and carfully drilled in most of the length of the bolt. I tried the bolt extractor repeatedly during this process until the bolt lost enough of it's holding power to come out. I ordered replacement bolts which are not yet installed and I would really like to know that when I put them in I wouldn't have the same problem again.

I put anti-seize on those bolts so they don't get stripped out the next time I remove them
