Question Bolts that wont come out

I am trying to replace the front seal in the transmission. Can get all the bolts out exception for one. They where pretty soft bolts by the look of them. I started with a socket, but it started to round off. Then I tried with Vice Gripes, still no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas??

get a dremel, cut a slot into the head of the bolt and try and hit it with a flat head screwdriver. Works a treat on jammed bolts on my bike.

If that doesn't work, get something strong and hollow that will fit over the handle of a wrench or whatever for a breaker bar.

Maybe even try spray a shiitload of WD40 or RP7 on it.

Hope this helps

not being funny, but if you intend on carrying out more repairs yourself, get better quality tools, that's assuming you used the correct size socket to start with

Get a socket that's a little bit smaller and smash it on the nut with a hammer.

Work's for me.
