Those bolts can be a *@*(@ to remove......... heat would be nice.... but a little too much rubber in those parts....

Have you tried waking it up.

With the allen socket (you are using a socket not an allen wrench RIGHT)..... place it on the bolt and tap it with a hammer. The vibration can help loosen the bolt. The bolt is in at 20NM....but I have seen some hammer heads do wonders on that bolt and torqued it more.

The nice thing is that if you do strip it out.... its fairly easy to get at with a drill......

The only reason I pulled the engines from the top is that I did not have the clearance with my jackstands to drop it. On a turbo dropping the engine is the way to go...... but I have done NA and turbos from above.
