Anyone intervene if this is not a good idea but maybe use a propane torch on the bolt to heat it up then remove it when it is still hot. Also maybe try to use MAP gas instead of propane since it burns hotter.

Get some rope and tie it to th handle bar and then put a bolt with a pulley on the ceiling(in a crossmember) of garage pull rope through and then tie it off.

929_erion, You have to use aircraft cable for that to work, duh.
The sears tool works pretty good though. I have used them on stuff before but I am shocked that the vise grip doesn't work. Are you using big enough vise grips? (Sorry not saying you don't know how to use them)

heat make things expand making it harder to remove the bolt.

I’d go with C-4 explosives. Makes for a great story to tell the kids later.

Do you put sand bags around the C-4 and the drain plug to focus the blast energy?

I went to Sears and bought some bolt removers which look like a socket set and it grips on to the metal. Only problem is I don't have the right size. The size I have is either a tad small or tad big. The bolt is completely round now so I think I have to use the drill type of bolt removers. I'm going to wait for the weekend so I can get a front stand to help raise the bike more since I have a rear stand. Hopefully this will give me enough room to work with. I wish I did have a set of Metwrenches since they grip the side and not the corner of the bolt. Damn this thing is on there tight. I thought about using C-4s but wasn't sure if I'd be breaking the noise ordinance. I need a beer.

If it isn't the right size then wrap some duct tape around the bolt to make it bigger. Duh... Just kidding
