Success!!! The bolts are out.

I had another go at it today. I bent a torch tip to get access, heatted the bolt pice as best I could and then tapped on it with a rod.
Then I went slow and easy with the drill followed by the easy out.

Broke one drill bit off but I was able to extract it becouse it broke where I had welded the extension on.

Now, off to get some new bolts.

The bolt that came out has a unique shoulder. I'm wondering if I should go to JD and get the same bolt or just replace it with a standard grade 8 bolt.

Thanks for all the luck and advice.

Special thanks to Digitup for the email suggesting the Molson. I'm sure that's what got it out.

Plan B what plan B?! Those bolts will turn through if the clutch is out of the road .But there is a lot of work to get that far .And that takes even more beer to do.
