I agree with welding 8 or 10mm bolts to the stuck bolts.  I think this is
your least risky alternative.

Good Luck,

Get some big easy outs to grab what is there or get someone with a mig
welder to weld 8mmm bolts into the allen socket holes.

Subject: flywheel bolts stuck

I have the AT out for refurbishing so went to fix the leaking front oil
seal. Three of the flywheel (flex plate, actually) bolts came out
easily,
the other two remain firmly in place, and now have more of a round hole
than
a hex. I have never had the flex plate off: If I were to drill the heads
off, would there be enough left to use a vise grip or such on the stub
after
the plate is out?
