| Mar 20, 2018 at 7:39 | comment | added | Scott | that was actually the first bolt i tried .said screw it and moved on.i have never had trans bolts on this tight.crazy. | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 7:37 | comment | added | Scott | no i have never tried that .the bolt was already in bad shape.thats why i tried proper tools first then vice grips .and i got a good bite on vice grips .just would not give.impact gun is after said nut.if bolt snaps .ill curse and start drilling.lol | |
| Mar 19, 2018 at 13:21 | comment | added | kyle_engineer | @SolarMike I’ve never tried that, but I’ve never had to fight as hard as Scott has explained... except with a decking carriage bolt... (it had been welded. Facepalm.) | |

| Mar 18, 2018 at 22:08 | comment | added | kyle_engineer | If you have a socket that properly fits the bolt you can set the socket and an extension and tap it a bit with a hammer to help breakup any oxidation and/or loosen any bound threads. Always err on the side of being gentle though because too much force could also start damaging the threads. Also the reason that I ask if all bolts have been removed is that if they are, then all the leverage will be applied to the last bolt, which will make its individual thread tension pretty high. I realize these are kind of novice points, but what the heck! :) | |
| Mar 18, 2018 at 18:13 | comment | added | Scott | yep tried,no luck.exhaust is welded and limited space.the prior bolt installer.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | |
| Mar 18, 2018 at 18:11 | comment | added | Solar Mike | This will sound weird but it can work : have you tried to tighten said bolt then undo - repeat often but don't shear it, that will be the last resort and only if you can get space enough to re-tap it... | |
