Hey Brent!

When I first tried to take it off, I was using a 8mm allen, and slowly but steadily giving it force, and it started to round ever so slightly. I stopped immediately and started researching other options. So I put a bunch of valve lapping paste on the end of a new 8mm key, and hit it with the impact wrench. The wrench made lots of noises, nothing happened, and then 'zooop!' promptly rounded off what remained. I then tried jb-welding the allen key onto the bolt, and carefully tried to free the bolt again. The jb-weld just shattered.

Then I tried to make a little groove, and chisel it. That did nothing.

So now my options are:

Weld a nut to the bolt, drill a 1/2" hole, and try a left-hand thread/easy-out or a screw extractor. This bolt is in there GOOD. I've already got a replacement from Zip-Ty racing.
