fremyjay Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 get an old socket hammer it onto the bolt and undo, if worst comes to worst drill it out and rethread the hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Its a headbolt (cylinder head bolt) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Drill the head off remove the rest of the bolts as normal, take the head off then you could weld a nut onto the remainder of the bolt that's sticking out the block and undo it that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
