Remove the other bolts and the CV joint. The bolt should then screw out. Maybe loctite was used. Heat it and use vise grips if it is stuck. |

Ya, heat it just a little. Someone may have used locktite. Also you may be able to weld a nut over the end of the fudged head and back it out that way. (don't ask me how I know... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) )

And it's definitely not a Torx head. You want an "M8 triple square", or "the Bug CV joint socket".

Like Mark suggested, I would grind it off to get the CV joint off. You could then use a locking type pliers to remove the bolt. if it is still stuck, you can get a real cheap output flange for the trans.
