If it's not down in that hole from hell in the axle housing just grind it
off. If its in that nasty hole drill the head off, the bolt will easily
come out then.
Be sure you use the Tri-Square bolts when you reinstall the joint they
are ten times better than the Allen type.
Don't be lazy! Torque them properly after you've cleaned the threads and
work area very good.
