> Blown front hub bearing on my Yukon. Two bolts seized, then stripped the hell out if the heads with a 24"breaker bar. Couldn't get any extraction tools in through the accesss holes. Went to cut them off, grinder died. Finally got the heads off, bolts still wouldn't break. Ended up welding 7/8" nuts to the remainder and got them to move after 3 hours of heating and wd40... > > > Mitchel book time on this job is 1.1.

Hmmm... sounds like you missed removing the cotter pin... take that out using just a toothpick, and the bolts effortlessly slide right out with just your fingers... forget to remove it, and yeah, what you did.
