Default what to do

the front bracket engine mount bolt on my bike is stuck in the hole that connects the bracket to the actual engine, I've already drilled out so many bolts on this machine and it takes FOREVER, this one is about 2 inches long and since it's on the engine I dont want to screw it up or create a leak.

I've already pb blastered it for weeks and hammered at it but its REALLY stuck

Whats the best option here I'm assuming drill it out but was wishful for a cop out lol

Get a nut cutter if the nut is frozen. Fits over the nut and you tighten it with a ratchet or wrench until the cutter splits it open. Bolts can be tougher. I've had to use an air compressor and an air chisel to knock a couple welded nuts off that had broken bolts in them that wouldn't budge.

Glad to hear it finally popped out for you. Nothing like rusted bolts to make things difficult.
