How do I remove the bottom alterntor bolt on a 90 CRX????
Everyother bolt seems to of come out fine.. except for the LONGASS bottom bolt under the altrnator. For some strange reason the head on this bolt is a square??? I have no wrench socket for this bitch 
Ive tried hitting it with a hammer..BUT this altrnator is still the factory one, wich means its been on there for 20 ****in years :/.... anyways does anyon have a better idea on how to wack the sucka out?!?!?!

At this point I can assure you - unless you have a die to fix the threads you most likely need a new bolt now anyways...
