Try and get your hands on a set of bolt head extractors. They look like a normal socket, but have a left hand thread on the inside. No drilling or prep needed. When you put it over the bolt head, and try to loosen it, the extractor cuts treads and tightens itself over the bolt head until the bolt loosens. However, you'll enter a new world of pain if you shear the bolt.

just pull vac pipe off, job done.

Only job done if it does actually closes, lots of them don't Thats why its better to blank them off

spring loaded (work it up and down a bit with scrudriver through the vent) you can see it move.
