Bolts/nuts/studs that won't even THINK about coming loose with even impact wrenches will just damned near unscrew themselves after using PB Blaster.

It's great to have folk who can set my mind at some ease. I'm gonna see what I can do about getting a dremel down there and making some grooves. I'll get started with prepping the nut with some PB and then tap hard with a hammer and repeat that cycle every 20 minutes for a day and then spend the next day working my elbow majic, hehe. wish me luck.

Men, I'm goin' in. Don't wait up for me if I don't make it out! Take care of your mother.

Go with Dale's suggestion of cutting down the side of the bald nut and then pry it open. You'll want to replace the stud anyways.

i took all the bolts off of mine then when it was off i saw that it is actually only 4 bolts that secure the stock flange to the block the rest are bs, but it is hard to see any thing at all under there much less reach them.i would try to focus on those 4. im not sure if you could get a swing with a hammer or pry but perhaps something like a wheel lock removal socket, it is cone shaped inside and as you hit it it tightens then heat it then try to turn it off.

Ben 2 years since i did it, just a thought.
