| You will prob need to cut it off or chisel it off, dont damage the thread though. If you want to try a bigger gun and compressor pop it round and I'll get it banged off for you. (big gun and big compressor ftw) any time after 7 07791001385 | |

| if i remember rightly the head of the bolt on the pinch bolt on those is one of those big splined things and its mostly a case of holding the bolt, if you have a good pair of mole grips and a bigger compressor (courtesy of guy) you might stand a better chnace of getting it out | |
