Then, GOD BLESS Jorge (at the ghetto *** muffler shop I went to) brought his acetylene torch and poked a hole in a 7-up bottle filled with water... He heated up the bolt to red, have it a sec, sprayed water with the 7-up bottle, it obviously fizzled and steamed, then he kept spraying until it got cold to the touch, and I bullshít you not, undid the bolt with his hand... From that day on, I learned...

Not only that, it appears two bolts are facing the engine bay in our newer models. The second bolt wasn't as hard to turn, but it is very hard to snake a U joint down there. To the OP, get a socket extraction kit. That, in the end, saved it for me. Each time rock the socket back and forth applying as much pressure as possible so the teeth dig in. Then VERY SLOWLY start to crank with tons of pressure. It will creak creak creak until eventually it snaps. Also use impact sockets for everything. They are more expensive but they are not as soft and they don't give as much. Worst bolt ever IMO. Took me around 8 hours. 4 of which were just getting two bolts off.
