Got it out. I drove the car for about an hour let the motor get really hot. than came hom put the vice grips to it bolt came right off. The block obviously expanded and the bolt came loose. as for the torch comment, you torch bolts and them let them cool letting the rust sticking it break apart. I did many of suspension upgrades this way when taking apart my old suspension.

Hey, you can't complain about headers until you've changed them in an SN95! That is a pain in the ***!
haha i just changed my header gaskets myself, it was a pain in the *** but i actually did it myself.

i had the same problem though man, but it wasthe bolt connecting the h pipe to the headers, it was completely broken off so i took it to a shop to torch it off and thenit was a breeze from there.

You should most definatly get that extractorkit
