Got it. Now clean up surface, but new gasket in and add new header bolts with a dab of anti-seize on them - haha! Thanks everyone.

Finally made some progress. Going to try and thread a nut on there next :/

Got the new 3/8 header bolts (which is what I would always use in my race applications back in the day) installed on the drivers side already :)

Got a variety set of grinding stones with a 1/4 shank - going to attach to my mini air die grinder or my drill and go to town. Once headers and flange can be removed then I gotta get a nut on there and weld it on and hopefully have more room to access and remove! Thanks!

Yes it Yes it is a 7/16 head but was rounded off already from previous owner - thus trying to squeeze a grinded 10mm on there. :/

I’ll keep trying that. Otherwise I will try some files - once I get the edge off I would surmise the flange should be able to pull out.

Update: grinded down a 10mm to barely fit - even with breaker bar coming from the bottom it didn’t move. So - went sawzall route. Cut head of bolt off but as you know, header bolts have that flange - built in washer per se - and there are remnants of that which will not allow the header/flange...

Thanks everyone. Torches are at my buddies 2 hours away. And thanks 66, I figured the propane wasn’t hot enough. I don’t mind grinding a box or open end wrench to fit really snug and try it again. If that doesn’t work - sawzall is coming out. Thanks guys - as always, appreciate it!

Would have to get a line wrench set to see. Clearance is an issue even from underneath - no real way to get a cheater bar on there even if it does fit. :/

Makes sense. Hoping the headers can move enough away. Then thread a nut on - I would surmise I can weld the nut to the threads inside the hole of the nut to hold - then hopefully have access to get it off.

I will try that, thanks.

Good idea, thank you. Clearances may be an issue, not sure how much wiggle room there will be even with all the bolts off the headers to gain access to extract.

It does not - sorry must have typed incorrect, no room for a box end as it hits the header tube (even a slimmer box end set that I have doesn’t work) Open end 6 point does but 7/16 and 11mm there is definitely too much play.

Tried that - tried open end wrench from top, and also from bottom. Propane heat just made a few spots orange - not enough heat as the head didn’t even get hot enough to turn color. I also hit the closest part of the bolt with a flat head screwdriver and mallet after I heated it to try to...

I got a 7/16 box end wrench (longer one for torque) and an 11mm - box end doesn’t fit but open end does but both have play. A 10mm won’t go on it. It had definitely been messed with before as far as I can tell. My only other thought is to sawzall the header tube off - hopefully get bolt out...

Hey guys - have a stuck #2 cylinder header bolt. Been spraying it with Aerokroil every day for a week. Probably the most difficult bolt to get at - closed end wrench doesn’t fit, open ended wrench does but minimal room. Just did a propane torch on it but don’t think it gets it hot enough. Any...
