Default Changing clutch on sister's car, cross-threaded bellhousing bolt

i thought this was going to be a quick thing...

sister needs a clutch, fair enough, im ready to rock and roll untill i get to the 2 19mm bolts for the T bracket..

1 of the bolts were super tight but i got it out, the second one is really ------ sucking right now, ive gotten it out 1/4" but ----, its killing me. im debating on just cutting the head off of the bolt and worrying about it after i get the tranny off...

this is a 92 civic stock as ---- EX.....

what should i do?

how many extensions have you tried? Also usually I take those off with a 3/4" socket and a 1/2" drive

I drench all the mounts in lube for awhile before I even touch these cars they are getting freakin old. Best advice is have someone help you with spraying lube has you get it off. I have had plenty of those bolts come off like that. The threads were always fine the bolt was trash. Just be sure to spary alot of lube in the hole when you go to reinstall with a NEW BOLT.

i had one in my f22 bottom that wouldnt come out, so i used a breaker bar and when i finally came loose it broke a chunk out of my block, the whole top of the ear.
