That's frustrating, Ryan. Sounds like you're having exactly the same problems as Mossleymonster. Out of interest, was your hex bit chrome moly (black) or vanadium (silver)? If it was vanadium, try it with a moly bit as the chrome ones aren't really up to impact wrench use. I'd definitely recommend some heat too although, as the bolt's pretty well buried, it can be difficult to apply it just where it's needed. I wonder if one of those 'Bolt Buster" heat induction loops (or even a blow torch) would do the job if applied to a socket/extension while inserted into the bolt?
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
