UNbolt the DP its only like 8 or so bolts and a hangar.

if one bolt on the DP is stripped, what is the best way to take it off without cutting?

EX Coup - Use PB blaster and make sure you soak the shit out of them they should come off. Might need a breaker bar to give you more leverage too to break em loose.

Cali-Racer - the stud or the nut?
