[QUOTE="DVJ38, post: 14088429, member: 50816"] Thanks for the suggestions guys. The bolt isn't sticking out of the valve cover at all but when I peeked under it I could tell only one nut would fit on. So ya I have to remove the cover first. My car is in a storage unit so I'm unable to put a welder to use, but good suggestion Matt. Not sure how tight it's in there, but apparently a lot more than 23-29 ft lbs since the torque wrench is broken! Almost threw that thing across the parking lot lol. I may try to grind down the 2 nuts to try that first, then if that doesn't work vise grips, then a different method I guess. Which one is better though, using that counter-clockwise bit that digs into the bolt and pulls it out as it cuts into it, or drilling a hold in the middle of the bolt and using one of those flute type extractors in a tap handle? Can't say I've broken a lot of bolts in my life... [/QUOTE]
