    Very smart. What I was thinking I could weld a nut to it. That sounds a tad easier.

    It’s harder to remove too since the bolt was completely bent. Did a number on the threads.

    Yeah, a welded nut would be ideal, or last resort in most cases

    I’m hoping all this penetrating oil will coax it enough. Heat will be next.

    I’m worried about that snapped bolt with no meat left. Going to use an EZ out

    That could work. Let me see if I could even fit one on there.

    Well worst case scenario, before drilling would be heat and the welded nut. Especially having it out on a vise you should be fine

    Forreal, I'm in central Cali and getting a job in San Jose with my uncle. I'm hoping my Celica will suffice but we'll see

    Another great idea. The way I got it out was by cutting a slit in the end of the bolt, and using my impact gun with the driver bit.
