Do you have a BIG C clamp?
if so try the following. unscrew the bolt as far as you can. so that it is
no longer threaded on the nut that is in the keyway(lack of a better
description) and knock it out of the way to prevent damage.
now find a drift of some sortthat will capure the end of the mount bolt.
and use is as a press to push it out. WEAR safety glasses I've had these
shatter before. doing stupid shit like this.


ohter option. disassemble the front of the motor all pulleys etc and use a
drift and a BFH to pound it out. make sure the motor is supported.
just my opinion.

third option. wait till we get there and offer a beer as a prize for bolt
removal w/out damage.
