So I need to take the oil pump off but the bolt on the sprocket on the oil pump is siezed, I tried with an impact gun and it won't budge, what would be the best way to remove it?

Oxy acetylene torch will always work

Are you sure it's not a LH thread?

I'm not sure if it's not lh thread, but the new bolt I bought from BMW isn't, and it just wouldn't make sense, the direction of the chain would loosen it

Don't worry, problem solved. If an impact gun can't take off something, it's because it's not big enough. Borrowed my friend's big milwakuee, wacked it off in 2 seconds
