Help!!!

ok so today i took the task of changing my head gasket, was going pretty good, apart from the rain. when i came to take the head bolts out i noticed that on one of the middle bolts the hex head was jus spining so basically the bolt is rung. so it tells me the head has been off before but leaves the problem of getting the bolt out. any ideas? i dont have a welder and dont really wont to go and have to buy 1 for this. thanks

drill it with a small piece and buy some screw extractors these will remove that piece of piss mate hope this helps

dont think i,d get a screw extactor in, its in a very narrow channel and i need about an inch or more in lenght so the socket wont hit the head if you now what i mean
