Soak with penetrating oil, then heat what's left of the bolt with a torch
to break down the corrosion, what's left of the bolt should be turned back and forth a bit and more penetrating oil it should come out.

I know you know this, it is just my obsessive compulsion to help!

this post will self destruct in 10 seconds, Good luck Finney!

Poof!

Well its back on it rear. Let's take it from the top.

First while waiting for my buddy to get home to help with the extraction, I decided to build the xflex joints. While broke a brand new pair of snap ring pliers and all 4 heads on the first one. So I decided to do something else.

Start drilling for the extractor. SNAP broke a bit. Get that one out then snap a smaller one. So I just started beating it with a hammer. Bam nut goes through the frame. Sweet fast forward to where I start putting tires on so I can tighten everything. Driver side goes on good then bam it fell. No one hurt but it scared me.
