Did you try yelling at it?! Oh and throwing stuff usually doesn't work either, but I still do it!

I gave your yelling strategy a try, but to no avail, the bolt just taunted me back.
(and then warned me to leave it alone, or it will taunt me a second time. Must be french?)
I finally have the downpipe out (my dp has alot of bolts and wires, 2 Wbo2+Cutout), Im looking face up at the bolt, theres got to be a way to get this thing out! Even when I do, Im not sure the factory spring bolts will work. I did however find my exhaust leak!
Im going to get a then try the vice grip method, if that doesnt work its dremmel a slot and use a flathead time.....
If any other ideas come up, please do inform

Ahh I see.
I guess Im going to attempt to dremmel a flathead slot. Hopefully the buildup near the housing isnt flamable!!
Update: The slot cutting wouldnt work because the disc's were too large, I suppose Ill go to the hardware store tomarrow and get an extractor tool... argh

I'd say carbide reverse drill bits and an extactor will take thread it out. Oh and keep douching it in some kind of penetrator!

Thought about that, but I would have to get it towed, and if I do that it would completely negate all the "DIY" effort I have put into the car. My other car is quick, but unfortunately I did none of the work myself (except oil and simple things), I really want to do this one myself. Im not the most handy person, so it's a learning experience.

i had a shop put my TBE on, I hope they didn't torque them to much. I asked them if they put anti siege on which they didn't.
I hope i never have to take anything off. errrrrrrrrrr
