I bought a 3/4 breaker bar/socket. Good news is the bolt came out. Bad news is there was a chunk of thread that came out with the bolt! I think I'm fucked.

A dead blow socket smacked real hard with a hammer, then a 1" breaker bar with an impact socket on it also may help.

Things have been great here... I have a couple of badass cars we are about to finish so I have been out in the shop a lot, which makes me very happy!

I know I had a hard time getting my stocker off during a cam swap. I grabbed my impact gun and hit it a bunch of times to which it eventually came loose. Then it's an ARP bolt so I'm not sure if it will work, but anything to get that f*cker out.

I wish I had the spare time to do some part time work for you guys or something on the weekends. I cant get enough time around cars. Keep me in mind if you hear of any good deals on some 243's please.

Well I was never able to get it out and just said F**k it and just tourqed it to spec and left it. I am gonna eventually have to get it out when I do my cam though so I hope somone has an answer for you. Good luck buddy.

You might be fu**ed if you left the old bolt in. If you have had it in for that long and it was the old bolt. The stock TTY bolts suck and it might break when you try to get it out. Someone did something similar to mine and it broke when I tried to remove it. Good luck hope you don't have to drill it out, it sucks bad.
