OD Solenoid Foundation Bolt 200

Hi All,

88 245 GL 135Kw/automatic transmission

I tryed to remove the OD solenoid from my car this past weekend when I was stopped in my tracks on account of the forward foundation bolt. I started with WD-40 and a 12-point wrench (bad idea). In the process, I stripped the head. I then went out and bought a 6-point, but it still slipped. It is a tough angle to get visegrips up there. I'd rather not use a torch to heat it up do to the sensitive location. I don't have the ability/money to drop the tranny. Does anyone have any other ideas or techniques that have worked in the past?

Thanks!
