Why is this bolt so stuck. I have proken a socket on it. I have used heat, hammered it to knock it a little lose. The head is ugly but I ain't budging. I will have to buy a new bolt but I just want this bolt out before I lose my mind. Tomorrow I will go get an impact.

The bolt has an 18mm head. The bolt size is m14 x 2 x 67.5.

This project was not supposed to be hard. So I did it in my driveway instead of driving over to my shop. But I messed up the threads on the track bar. So I am stuck here without an impact. I will have to walk up to the parts store and get an 18mm socket for a 1/2 drive and I hope that will get it. If not I will have to put things back together and leave the track bar lose. Then drive 10-15 mph to the nearest shop with an impact.
