Ever had a hard time removing the carriers for the rear calipers or  
other allen head bolts and you've only got an allen key?  Two solutions:

Allen key only:  Use an old 4kq/5kq/ etc shifter knob on one end for  
additional leverage and grip without pain :-)

If it's so stubborn you stripped the damn thing:  Sears Bolt-out with  
either gear wrench, socket wrench or (best) impact wrench.

Of course, I always recommend some PB Blaster overnight soaking first  
and maybe a little bit of heat as necessary before either of the above .
