tank bolt won't budge help!
So I'm trying to remove my tank bolt that is near the seat so i can slide tank back but this thing will not budge. It's a t40, i tried screwdriver nothing, wrench nothing, neighbor brought over breaker bar still nothing? I'm a big strong dude and this thing will not move. Any advice?

If I was worried about the paint I would use a soldering iron.

Use an impact. If you can't get one try tapping on it when you are to loosen it. At times that helps.

If U use impact gun make sure U hold down good, don't strip the head or U will have to use drill.
