Help!!
 
In the middle of changing my clutch and the top passenger bellhouseing bolt is stuck. Broke 3 sockets and my irwin stripped bolt tool. Last one to go. Any ideas?

It is easier if you tilt the engine downward to get the Top bolts out. I like to put a ratchet strap on the engine and make the tail-shaft of the trans point down. Or the more work way is to remove the intake and the bolts will be really easy to get at from the top

I removed the tail shaft cross member and lowered it with a jack to get at the bolt

If its that tight than heat the bolt up and use a 1/2 inch impact.

I did everything but heat. Rode the bike to the auto store and bought a bought another Bolt stripping tool to replace the one I stripped. Said a prayer and gave it one last shot and it broke lose :-)
