This isn't the first time this dealership has stepped up and surprised me.
All dealerships step up but it's usually onto a stool behind you. Glad yours has learned that a little grease here and there is a good thing.

So to recap.
1. Heat the bolts to break the locktite bond.
2. Use an impact tool.
3. Use Sears damaged bolt removal kit to attempt removal ofbolt you just destroyed.
4. Take to dealer, be polite and hope he surprises you with niceness.

Thanks for sharing your experience Hidalgo, that's going in my shop tips binder.

Or, you could just quit doing mods to your ride, oh wait. Sorry UPS is here, gotta go.

Hand impact is the best way to get out tough primary screws +1 on the gold...
