Hell no it will not hold. Go buy the bolt remover kit at a auto parts store. Use a power dril and get them out. Otherswise you will be pulling the motor right back out and most likely ruin a clutch from all the oil spilling out the rear of the engine.

I absolutely agree. The e-z-out should only cost you a couple of bucks. If you have a Harbor Freight Tools or other discount tool outfit nearby you can probably get a whole range of e-z-outs and drill bits for $10.

Or you might find, as I did, that once you remove the rest of them, there's enough to simply grab it with a pair of pliers and turn it.

Hey Colt-r,
Did you use a torque wrench? Did you feel like pulling the wrench just one bit further past tight; I've done this a few times too. Definitely get a torque wrench if you don't already have one.
Proper torque = no surprises (usually )

p.s. Those seal bolts are something like 7-9 ft lbs and that comes up fast with a big bar or wrench on them.

if you ruin the threads when taking them out... you can use a hellie coil...dont kno if i spelled that right... but its just a kit to make new threads...
