I've tried what I could, so now it's time to swallow my pride and ask for help.
On my '94 GPrix there are two supports that are bolted to the fenders and the other end to the front of the car. I wanted to clean the battery terminals but, as most '94 GP owners know, in order to get at the battery you have to remove the support and remove the windshield washer tank. I also get the air intake funnel out of the way for easy access. (Who was that easy access engineer!)
I've done this before with no problem. The support has two bolts on the front end of it and one at the fender end. That's the one that decided it didn't want to budge (the front two came out easily). The bolt was in so tight that I stripped off part of the sides, so the socket just slips off it. I tried heating it, using brake fluid (as suggested by a mechanic as the best free-up stuff he ever used), and tried one of those nut-removal sockets you see advertised on TV. None of those fitted really well and I didn't want to spend another $25 + tax for the metric set just to get a bolt out - especially if it didn't work anyway..
SO - My son gave me a set of extractors for Christmas and I'm thinking about drilling the bolt and using an one to get it out....UNLESS someone has a better idea.
What say you out there - fellow Pontiac people?
