I can't get the bolt out.

It broke, so the one half without the head is in the compressor, and the other in the engine.

I can see the head and the threads on the other side.
I turn the bolt, and it doesn't thread out.
So it's stripped right?
Well, I can't pull it out, or push it out.

Wierd.

So then I tried prying it out, but I can't get anything in between the bolt and the block.

Vice grips! clamped them on, and pryed the vice grips off. No dice.
So I tried pulling on the vice grips while I was twisting, didn't work.

So next I try pounding on the thread side with a hammer while I'm twisting the head with the rachet.
That did *something*
I can now turn the bolt with my fingers, but it still doesn't thread out at all.


What are my other options?
