Anytime I ever roll a motor over and see the allen style I immediatly go grab the air hammer, its not even worth the trouble to try with a allen. I broke that rule a few months back on Duckys and we rounded one off, LOL, so I retaught myself that lesson again...haha The air hammer takes less than 2 seconds to break one loose, then use the allen to take it out.

Yeah, Jon has the best solution in this case. I do not chisel them out as a rule but it will work. I use an Allen socket 3/8" drive on an impact. Do you know anyone with an air hammer?
I used an allen socket and an impact to get mine out as well.

Good idea, but welding it would only allow you to turn it about 1/4 turn...then your screwed.
Mine had the allen heads too, but mine came out fairly easy, I had an allen wrench that was about 1ft long on the handle.

Just weld the inside of a gearwrench on it....
OK, still have got the last one out yet. It's been raining alot here. I have another question...What year trucks can I get a transmission from? The junkyard said only 2001s. What could is different? Mine is a 2001 4.8 regular cab 2wd.
physically, nothing is different. electrically, maybe a different plug or something, not sure on this, but should all be the same. i am running a camaro tranny in my truck and the only difference is the shaft coming out for the shifter is shorter and i had to rig the shift controller to work for my truck to be able to crank.
