apparently they dont believe in easy-outs??? I’ve had much worse bolts than that at work and a little penetrating oil and an easy out and it was out in a matter of minutes… if not, a little heat will def. do the trick. ---

If you have a million dollar car, then yes. IE - If i was working on Tony’s ZR1, then yea. For the rest of the cars, a torque stick, or just an impact socket will work fine. Just have to know how to use an impact gun is all. ---
