i think your confused.... 10mm 1 bolt unless your car has been submerged in water for a number of years i dont see that bolt sieizing up...or maybe your using a 9mm socket and confused as to why it wont turn?? not sure...the bolt is located south of the hood release on 92-95 civics. and behind the glove box to the farest right for the 96-00 civic. but only you know what model year you have since you failed to tell us... and all 92-00 civics and 94-01 integra main relays are the same

there is only 1 bolt. so you are talking about something else not called the main relay... honda never welded it nor would they use solder. how do i know this? because its a part that doesnt require that extra material nor attention in keeping that bolt stuck on.

Part #9 is the main relay, #17 is the bolt. Make sure we're all on the same page and trying to remove the same bolts etc.
