Stripped...

You're gonna be real stubborn about the impact driver...huh?

What's the cost of the 6mm hex bits?

+1    before you muck up the hex's

Since the bolt faces are pretty large,  a cheap man's impact wrench would be a sharp center punch, angle it to the bolt face and give it a few good raps to loosen.

If it were me dealing with this:

I would just cut the remaining rearset piece(s) completely off the bike, it's trash anyway, and then work from there.  At that point more meat will be available to use larger tools.

by the look of the broken tools it looks like someone has used hi strength loctite thread lock

you need to deactivate the thread lock , thos little cig light flame torches are good, get some good heat into the bolt

wost case drill the head off then you will be able to get some vise grips on the left over bolt

[Speeddog]

DarkStaR's got a good point.

[He Man]

drill a hole through it. say goodbye to the rubber, put a torch and heat the bolt from the inside. slott it with a grinder and put the edge of a flat screw driver on it and bang it out.

[corey]

this may be a stupid question, but i have always wondered this...
could you heat the bolt with a soldering iron? just like touch the tip to it for a good while?
i know my soldering iron gets up to like 1200° F... which would do the trick for red loctite, right?

[battlecry]

It might, Corey.  I use that trick on smaller bolts.  Some bolts have so much mass/metal that soldering irons have trouble keeping them hot.   

[Porsche Monkey]

No wont transfer all the heat and it still won't get hot enough. Get a small torch like everyone says.  Do not cut the bolt if a socket still grabs it.

i don't know how anyone could work on a bike without one

they sure deliver a lot of bang for the buck

[the_Journeyman]

I'll check my local places, not working on the bike tonight.

FWIW - last reassembly of this (I know for sure, because I reassembled it post the black paint) had a very light amount of grease and no locktite on the threads ~

Really, this is the best next step.

Make the investment.

Mr. Gordon from the Black Mesa Facility says to use this... works everytime he says. I tend to agree with him.
