He had a run in with a curb and after fixing that began working on some other stuff on his pureslow '88 Accord LX 5speed (yes, carburated slowness)...

Summary:Well, a transmission bolt has pwninated every attempt to get it off... meaning some tools and, yes, the leg of a workbench to which a WENCH was attached to. Soaked in tons of PB blaster and under 500lb/ft of torquination (I'm in the make-up-words-mood, shut up)... the ***** still won't come off, apparently. Anyways, if you were too lazy to click the link, you're gonna have to now cause I really can't explain it that well, seeing as I was not part of this car-fixing venture...

I say we get my other buddy's V8 Silverado and start pulling...

Like he says in his thread, it ought to be turning the right way. If not, he just tightened the ***** out of it. If he goes back to turn it the other way, he may just snap something.

that's one crazy stuck on bolt. I was about to go to extreme measures today with the flywheel bolts on the free ka24de I acquired.

Damn, that's one very stuck bolt. Get out the breaker bar and try the winch. The added leverage of a breaker bar is huge. Or go with the air chisel, seems to have worked for the other guys.
