without seeing it you might have to drill and tap to get it out

80ftlbs??? I could be wrong, but that sounds to high to me. Sure it wasnt 80 inch lbs?

per the repair manual, the center MAIN SHAFT bolt is listed as "torque to 80 Ft Lbs".
The factory manual does not call out a specific torque for the 5 Clutch Spring Bolts.
it simply says to tighten them
"in a crisscross pattern, in several steps".
(reference page 9-10)

also, per the factory manual, (reference page 1-11), torque values for bolts and nuts, that are NOT specifically called out in the pages of the repair and maintaince chapters, are as follows.

5 mm bolt and nut 3.6 ft lbs
6 mm bolt and nut 7 ft lbs
8 mm bolt and nut 16 ft lbs
10 mm bolt and nut 25 ft lbs
12 mm bolt and nut 40 ft lbs

6 mm flange bolt (8mm head with small flange), 6.5 ft lbs
6 mm flange bolt (8 mm head with large flange), 9 ft lbs
6 mm flange bolt (10 mm head) and nut 9 ft lbs
8 mm flange bolt and nut 20 ft lbs
10 mm flange bolt and nut 29 ft lbs
