Help!! I'm doing a clutch job and I have a drive shaft bolt that won't budge. I ended up putting so much force on the 6mm Allen wrench that I rounded out the Allen hole. I tried a brand new Allen wrench with a little help from vice grips on the side of the bolt but no luck.

This is my first clutch job on my '03 and I'm running into quite a few stubborn bolts. This is by far the worst one. I'm sure I'm not the first one with this problem.

Many have done that. Use a dremel (or similar) to cut the head off and the shaft will screw out after you get the shaft and washer off.

Experienced the same thing you have when I was taking out my motor. I used a dremel to cut the head off and then just simply screwed it off with a pair of pliers
