BOLT head.

Get a high quality 14mm six point socket and try it again. If you can, heat the head of the bolt to about 300 degrees with a small torch, but becareful not to get it to hot or heat it to long. Usually a bolt in the end of the crankshaft has Locktite on it and you can release the Locktite by heating it.
BTW, did you ever clean out your private messages?

Unfortunately I too think you may have to take it to a shop to have them remove that bolt...:|

Ok I'll try that. Yeah I cleaned out my mail too. Or just send me a email.

3/4'' impact gun and a smaller socket bashed on the bolt. works every time. 3 to 4 pops with that should do it.

Sorry 4 being repetitive but when you say smaller socket for instance like 13mm or 12 mm hammered on it? The original bolt was 14mm.

Yeah if you have access to a welder, do that, and then another advantage is that the heat from the welding sometimes loosens up the bolt enough to get it.

yes try a standard also. If it is really bad try welding the socket to the head.

theres a tool out there..roughly $10-$20..its for IMPACT GUN..just use it like you were taking the bolt out with a normal socket...the socket is reverse threaded so it digs into the head, and pulls out the old bolt..i KNOW for 100% summit racing has em....like THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7933082895&category=46098&sspagename=WDVW)

Thanks guys but I took it to the mechanic already though I did buy that reverse craftman's socket set w/ breaker bar. I cranked it but something inside "popped" and either oil or coolant came out.... I know on monday what happens.

I'm crossing my fingers that it's not. No white oil. But seems that I busted my seals.
