Pinch Bolt
Seriously, the pinch bolt on the rear hub from the toe link arm is going to be the death of me. PB blaster, propane, impact gun, breaker bar, hammer. Failed.
Ideas? I do not want to hand drill this sucker. I know I will ruin the hub.
I am about to cut the boot and acetylene torch the whole thing within a degree of dripping aluminum.
EDIT: To clarify, the nut is off, the bolt wont budge or turn.

If you do try drilling it, I'd do it in steps going progressively larger, then you might be able to free it before it's completely cut away, saving the hub. I've drilled out bolts like that before and was able to extract the thin outer shell of the bolt without damaging anything else.
