Dan,

 

What ever you do, don't try to beat it out with a hammer. You will end up mushrooming the bolt and it will not work through the hole. Care to guess how I know that?

 

Keep it saturated with the Liquid Wrench and don't get in a hurry. Give it time to penetrate. If you just have to hit on it with a hammer, do it to the head of the bolt. It may work the rust loose. Do you have a compressor and an air impact? If not, try a breaker bar and use a back-and-forth motion on the head of the bolt.

 

Yelling, screaming and shouting profanity doesn't help either...........it make you feel better, but it doesn't get the bolt out. Remember, it's been in there a looooong time and when you put it back together, dab a little never-seize on the bolt........like you did on the other side : )

 

Good luck.
