Well god bless Jorge I need to take my ish to him haha.
Kabestro, I've only seen problems with older z's 09's and 10's. new z's like the 13' should be easier they haven't had time to really seize.

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.
