That's what I would do. You're just spinning your wheels trying to get ahold of something that's almost impossible. Burn it out with a torch. Wrap everything with wet blankets.
Which stud is it, 2nd from the front ect?
The way I'm looking at it is if you can't get to it with a 90 deg drill or torch I'd plan on lifting the engine up enough where you can get to it.
On my 4.7 Dodge Dakota I used JB weld to glue the nut to the cast manifold. I couldn't get to it for some reason. Had to wait a day for the JB to cure but it helped me get it back together.
In a lot of cases I'll use a brass nut on those bolts to make someone's life easier down the road when...
The three deep holes that use the sleeved nut are shouldered so cutting them off gets you nowhere. The ones in question have been replaced with something other than factory, probably a bolt of some kind that's down in the hole.
I like the idea of a hole saw that will fit into the hole to remove...
Hard to believe someone found a nut that would fit the stud and also fit in the hole. And have a socket that would work. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Could you just use something short enough for a depth guage? Piece of a zip tie?
