[QUOTE="ecb223, post: 189321, member: 4018"] Well I finally ground out the tap with my Dremel and some diamond coated burrs, but I still cant break the bolt loose! I tried heating the block around the bolt with low heat. I don't know if the bolt is corroded or if it has some kind of sealant on the treads. I've removed lots of broken bolts in my life but never one in Aluminum! A friend told me to heat the bolt and not the block ,but it looks to me like that would expand the bolt and make it even tighter. Any Ideas? [/QUOTE]
