You can get it off by tapping the edge of the outside head. When you tap it, the chisel will cut into the edge of the head.
Unless the head broke off, then that sux, lol

I break out the trusty mig and weld something to it. The heat helps loosen the loctite some people put on the bolts. Thats the biggest issue most people run into. You can heat it up with a propane torch to soften the loctite before loosening the bolts any time in the future.

no it didnt break off,just the points or grooves torx style stripped,and the bolts are flushed with the retainer plate,so theres no way to hit it with a chizelii tried everything,gave me a headache lol.
so i drilled a hole,then used a extractor,then that broke in one of the bolts haha.
after that i gave up and put loctite on the other 2 bolts and put it all back together.
and then get rid of it.... that is the type plate that broke on me.... found metal in the pan, and got the turbo too.... get the non recessed style plate and bolts.

no wonder where i can get the part numbers for the plate and bolts,cause my local dealer dont know crap
Just because it's flush doesn't mean you cannot use a chisel.
any gm dealer, I just go through Sdparts.com most of the time if I have the time to wait.
12556437 retainer plate
11515756 bolts (4 req'd)
