Have you considered drilling through the bolt, like you would if you had a screw with a stripped head?
Consistent with other advice, I think you did what I would have done, although I might have done it a tad differently: -I don't know if you used a 6-point socket or a 12-point socket, a 6-point socket is the way to go here. -How long is your breaker bar? The longer it is, the more leverage you have, giving you the ability to be a bit more gentle. -When using a breaker bar, I always try to push down, rather than up or to the side. -How long did you let the penetrating oil sit? When using penetrating oil, patience can really pay off. One last thing: Imagine the bolt is a jar of pickles someone just handed you while asking, "Can you open this for me?" You turn the lid and it pops off with almost no effort, and you say, "You must have loosened it." In other words, be gentle, spray some penetrating oil on it, and they walk away for a while. Then try gently again later, and repeat until the thing comes off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
