So pretty much I have a bolt that is stuck and I can't get it. It started out already rounded out and I tried the whole bolt out but that didn't really work. Anybody ambitious that wants to make some money? It is the airconditioner bolt on a ford 4.6 v8. I m pretty sure I just want to sell the truck at this point but I am hoping some beer will help right now.

Ford 4.6 AC comp has 4 bolts holding it on, would be just fine with only 3 with the pad maount it uses, cut and ditch the 4th is my vote. Is it one of the forward or rearward bolts? The closer to front ones are under less load if it matters.

I'll try to get a pic if I can. If you are looking at it, it;s the back one closest to the motor.

can't you just cut the head off and slide the compressor off? or would that not work then you could get a locking pliers on there and maybe some heat should get the job done

Pb blaster the shit out of it and let it sit over right. Seems to work for me every time.

Heat that bitch up. Be careful not to apply too much heat and melt the aluminum.

Im with that guy. Let it soak over night, then try going back in a quarter turn then try going out again.
