i  think some go into the engine casing so if you snap them you have to take the timing cover off :evil:

Couple of methods

Try tightening slightly to see if the thread cracks off, then back and forth a bit at a time until it loosens off

Put some pressure on the bolt head with a spanner and then tap the end of the bolt with a hammer, the shock may release, then back and forward as above

Apply some heat to the bolt head, blow torch, etc, but remember ally will melt faster than the steel :wink:

Good luck!
