Rearmost Head Bolt Rounded - What to do?
Started taking the head bolts off. I accidentally started with the wrong one in the back. I was supposed to do the lower one at the firewall, but I did the upper. 10, 9, 8, all went fine, and then 7, that lower one by the firewall, I go to do and I see it is nearly rounded off. I've attempted it with an impact socket as well as a regular socket, all 6 point. It just keeps slipping off. PB Blaster isn't helping, and I've re-tightened the other bolts I unbolted to even the tension.
What can I do? The engine has not been pulled. Will a bolt extractor even fit back there? There's no space to drill, at least with any tools that I have.
This is on a D1, but this sub is much busier, and I think it's the same setup on a D2, if I'm not mistaken. I'm at a loss at the moment.

I just did that this week, only on one of the middle head bolts. I used a special socket to get it out.
1/2" breaker bar, with a 3' pipe on it, very slow, controlled pressure on the pipe, so the teeth bit.
Worked great, they have saved me several times.
Hold on, I'll take a picture and post it.
