I'm going to replace it with a hex head bolt.
I only took off the heatshield. Removing that gave me enough room to get a wrench on it. Yeah it took a while to get off by removing all the bolts working from the top. It's prob best to remove the cat to get to the bottom vacuum pump bolt from underneath the car.
