Pretty sure. I checked it on several different parts diagrams. And, the
size seems about right, based upon the one I actually managed to remove.

8x50 refers to the size. Find an M8x1.25 FLANGED bolt in a 50mm total
length and you will be good. I suggest that you look into a stainless
replacement and do both of them, since they aren't structural.
Though... 50mm seems long, for an exhaust bolt. Are you certain the part
number is correct?

I have tried just about everything, and I am finally going to give up and
take it to my mechanic to see what magic he can do to it. It's starting to
get dark and wet up here in Seattle, so I'm hoping he can get it out
quicker than I have been able.
Which raises a second question... Just in case
Good idea to try and tighten the bolt just to break it free. The clamping force
of the bolt isn't why this one is stuck - it is the corrosion between the
threads. That is why heat works - it expands the bolt / threads just enough to
overcome the corrosion.

That's a good idea as well. You're probably right about the torque on the
impact tool. It's just a little Milwaukee M18, so I think it probably has
less than 200 ft/lbs.
I think I could get this thing off with just the breaker bar, if I could
find a socket that wouldn't slip on it. I was thinking
All good ideas to try so far. Have you tried using the impact wrench to
tighten the bolt for just a few impacts, then try loosening it, maybe that
will break the corrosion bond. Also do you know what the ft/lbs of your
impact tool is? Mine is an electric one rated at 220 ft/lbs and it would
Although it might be too late for this problem, you might want to consider
picking up a 3/8' adapter for your 1/2' breaker bar.

Try to use impact while it is still hot.

Drilling is going to be my last resort. And, at this point, I don't really
see any other alternative.
I used a 6-point socket. Actually, three different ones from different sets
I had, in case one was rounded. I also bought one of those Craftsman Bolt
Extractor kits, which also refused to budge
Have you considered drilling through the bolt, like you would if you had a
screw with a stripped head?
Consistent with other advice, I think you did what I would have done,
although I might have done it a tad differently:
-I don't know if you used a 6-point socket or a 12-point socket, a 6-poin
My favorite trick is to put a notch in the side with a drill, dremel, etc.
and then whack it with a cold chisel and hammer.
