Default Please help.

I am trying to remove my camshaft position sensor and replace it, but the two little bolts are super rusted and they circled out like they were butter when I turned the socket on them. I've tried using different pliers and vice grips but can't grab them well enough to turn them. And ideas on how to get these thing out?

Are you saying the head of the bolt is rounded off? In the past I've taken a dremel with a cutting wheel and cut a slot in the top to put a flat head screw driver in to remove stripped bolts. Be careful not to cut too deep of a slot tho, the head will just break in half if you do
