I will add that a focused flame from a pencil torch or MAP/O2 torch on the head of the bolt till it is orange first will break the Locktite before you try to remove it. Let it cool a bit before you tap it and then remove it as it will be soft when hot.

Good idea on th 4 or 5 pack of the tools. That will get you the size for the door hinges, the CV's, the cam bolt, and Maybe the flywheel. I bought a separate one for the flywheel, short, 1/2 inch drive socket, because it takes alot of torque.
When you're shopping, be ready to refer to those tools as:

triple square
cheese head
12-point
Depends on the culture group.

Great advice guys.. I found the Lisle 4pack of triple squares on ebay for $15. Gave the bolt a couple sharp whacks and it broke loose fairly easily.. Thanks!!
