Hi if you are putting new arms on anyway just heat the bolt up with a blow torch that will free it up.

  • I had a very similar problem when I was trying to remove a long steele bolt from my Virago aluminium engine.
  • I purchased a rattle gun (Off ebay) . It came out in no time.
  • The constant vibration slowly loosened it up, then it started to spin and walla.

But even my nut didn't t won't go out. You use the gun before remove the nut or with it.

Got the nut off first using heat.

You can always use a nut splitter or a dremel to cut through it.
