Hi Guys,
Im finding this Bolt a pain to release, could someone confirm its a normal thread please and any experiences for releasing been putting some pressure behind to the point im getting nervous the head might spin..
FYI I want to rotate the Clevis to sit between the mufflers.
Thanks
I bit of penetrol, or other type of liquid wrench. Tap it with a hammer a few times and let it sit……even overnight.
Only other option would be to heat it…..

Good ideas,
I put a penetrating oil into it, will leave overnight and perhaps tap it tomorrow along with a blow torch
Use a big Crescent (adjustable) wrench on the clevis, its easier to turn thenut.
You can throw a little heat on the clevis with a propane or map torch first in case it has loctite in it, doesnt take much to release the thread locker, about 200*
