Thanks for the great ideas fellas... I used my superior angle grinding skills to put 6 new sides on the bolt head, I tapped on a 6 point 3/8 impact socket (i know...I need a 1/2 inch), well now I need another 3/8 one plus a 1/2 one! I have my floor jack pressing up on the bottom of the socket.. I managed to split that socket so at least it's getting a good bite... I put a 12 point 1/2 socket (non-impact) on and it a split as well, but still obviously it's getting a good bite. I'll go find a 1/2 impact 17mm socket tomorrow to beat on for awhile. I did heat it for quite some time as well. Can't wait to get to the other side! At least the head on that one looks intact......
