Cut Bolts on Bellhousing

[piperpilot1363]

Hello
I have sheared 2 of my 3 stuck bolts on my transmission to the point were no socket, wrench or impact hammer will grab it without slipping off. Can I cut these bolts? they are the top two one the bell housing of the transmission and one of the center ones. If so, whats the best way to do it?

These didn't work, the teeth were stripped out of the socket head. I don't think we used them wrong. We broke one of the bolts with heat and a wrench, but it seized back up and would not budge.

Just cut them off with a die grinder(we used a torch quite a few times but be careful)After you get it out,you can heat it a lot easier and get a pair of vise grips on it.There isn't hardly room to get a extractor in there in the truck
