i believe its a 17mmm hummmmm know any body with a set of metwrench tools... or better yet i take it that you're pulling the tranny out... cut the bolt... when you have the tranny off, there should be about an inch or so still sticking out, and you should be able to just turn it with your fingers.. but this will stratch your tranny though.. hahah last option of course

if they are the same that is.. then you should be fine other wise go to a pick and pull and pocket one.. i've used b series bolts on my setup before and with so much torque when you're putting it back in, if longer it might just crack your block.... seen it happen before... and then sometimes when you dont get a long enough bolt it just pulls the treads out.. so be very careful unless you want to run one less tranny bolt.. what kindaa car anyways and 916 huh ... sac town.. ??

 

my bad i ment ima get b-series cuz i cant get the bolt out

its a stock civic yea im from sac

 

try using a wrench box end a little size smaller and hammer it in.
or a cold chisel and tap it from one side and see if it turns.

 

Try a pipe wrench, the one that plumbers use.

 

this bolt is so F.ed up that its oval.... i was able to get a grip off it n i noticed when i tried crankin it the whole tranny was moving...... this tranny flush is getting pretty expensive

 

find whatever will grip it tight and set that aside...heat up the area around the bolt with a torch (if you can do so without burning anything important). the hotter the better, then grab it with your tool and it should unscrew pretty easy. this is the only way i know that can remove impossible bolts

well its the tranny and its oily so idk if i can really put a torch to it i aint trying to kill myself lol

 

Lol...i know. but as long as there is no open hole to the oil, you should be safe. i did this once on a beretta fuel filter...yea torch on the fuel line...it was rusted solid and i was scared, but it worked and nothing bad happened

 

i gotta try that this bolt is killing me
