Did some searching and tried some ideas but none have worked. The cross pin retaining bolt in my 8.25 is stuck and will not come out. I started with a 5/16 box wrench and it started to round so I stopped. I tried tapping on various 6pt sockets that would fit the head and it didn't budge and rounded off with them. My next step was a little localized heat from a solder torch and a splined turbo socket, which made some nice grooves in the head but wouldn't turn the bolt. I've tried various vice grips and pliers and nothing will grip the head. My next step is to try dremeling a cut in the head letting me turn it with a screwdriver... any other ideas before I go that route?
