Hmm, About the only thing left that I can think of is a impact driver. It's
sort-of like an air wrench but it SLAMS repeatly, hopefully breaking the hold
on the bolt. Other than that, shearing off the bolt, grinding it flush,
drilling it out and tapping new threads may be all you have left. There is a
mechanical impact driver that you use with a 5-pound sledge hammer, but the
air-powered version works much better. Don't feel to bad, I broke 5 out of 6
manifold bolts on my M151A1. Good luck! <Geoff VVV
