FIrst, thank you to everyone who posted earlier to give me tips for getting these confounded bolts out. Second, nothing has worked so far. I've tried heat, a hard lick or four with a hammer and punch, can't get them to turn at all. THese are the supposed 8mm bolts that are holding the rear of the front driveshaft to the cardan joint. I have about 2 inches of clearance to work with between the joint and the flange coming out of the transfer case. I am thinkg about trying to cut the bolt heads off, but I don't know if the bolt is threaded into both sides of the joint, are just the rear. If it is threaded all the way through both sides, removing the bolt head doesn't help. If it isn't, I could separate the two sides, them use a drill/bolt removal tool to back out the headless bolt. I don't want to try this without knowing (I really don't want to try it at all, but I am running out of options). Are there any other suggestions? Has anyone had this much trouble with these little bolts? The other tricky part is I can't find a wrench that fits the bolt head tightly. An 8mm is the closest, but it still has play and I have slightly rounded off one of the bolts trying this size. A 7mm is too small, a 5/16 fits about as closely as the 8mm. Could I try to pound a 1/4 on there? Don't have room for a socket at all. HELP!! (I haven't even gotten to the really fun part of changing out all three front u joints!) Thanks.
