This is the first choice. I lock em on, then lock em on tighter til I
can't get them any tighter. Gotta be real nebraska vice grips. Then
add impact from a 2 lb stubby hammer. moderate bumps, not full force.
Next choice is chisel and same hammer. Once you get it started you can

e: [MBZ] How to get off buggered up torx bolt?
I’m probably going to have to get a bolt extraction set, never had one

Good point.
The drive stub is longer than the bolt, right?
So if you can pull the whole axle, you should be able to lift the joint over

I’m probably going to go get a bolt extractor set and try that first. If not
will cut it off and hope it will clear the bolt stub
