You have one more bolt to go, Under the Tbelt cover You can get it with out removing the cover with a wee bit of feness but it can be done (Idid it) but if you crack and brake it you will be looking at $100++ to replace.

Have you thought about having it helicoiled, There is plenty of room for a 90degree drill.

I can help with the "Hex Bolt" - it's LOCTITED in there, once you hit it hard with a Propane Torch it comes out, now that it's rounded I'd try an EZ OUT in it.

You need to take off the timing belt cover and get the bolt behind there. Once you get all of the bolts out then it will come off with some help.

When I first read your post I thought you bunged the threds up on the housing, but after rereading BUCKS idea the torch and easy out should get the job done. Also for more access take down the left frame rail (6 bolts) that gives you room to work.
