Quote below from a review of the 'impact driver"
"If you have a stubborn screw, this will definitely help break it loose.
Make sure to penetrate your screws with some lube first to help get them
out without damaging the head of the screw. "
Unfortunately for me, 'the head of the screw/bolt' is already
damaged/stripped. I tried today to turn it with one of those 'bits'
designed to tackle stripped screw/bolt heads....no go.
I will first try to put a grove in the bolt head to try and turn it with
a big flat head screwdriver.....that failing, I will grind the head off.
One way or the other, it is coming off!

The nut is 'recessed' in a slot so that it doesn't turn when you
torque the bolt.....cutting the 'nut' is not an option.....can't
get a wrench or a pair of vice-grips on it either. I have to
concentrate on the other end....the head of the bolt is accessible.

Actually probably easier to cut the nut off if it is accessible,
you just need to get one side of it. I'd rough cut with an angle
grinder. Off the boat so sparks don't trash anything...

Maybe try to cut the bolt head off is the viable option......I
assume SS will be tough cut?
If I try to cut it, what would be the tool of choice?

I've had some shocking success with vise-grips. Maybe try one
on each side? Maybe you'll get lucky and the bolt will just break.

I have a 'pebble in my shoe' kind of problem.....a small SS
nut and bolt on my bimini is seized....do I need to remove
it , no....but it should be able to come apart should it
need to.
I have applied PB Blaster, ATF & acetone, Liquid
Wench.....obviously, a product is not the answer. I tried
today (thanks to Mike Hoyt) the 'tool' that can grip a
'stripped head'.....all I was doing was stripping it
further and giving my right hand a palm blister.
I might be able to get a hack saw blade between the head of
the bolt and the SS tubing but it is going to be a challenge.
The bolt takes a 9 mm wrench, however, it is recessed so
that getting a wrench on it with any force doesn't work
either. I can't turn the bolt and I can't turn the nut. I
could simply ignore the problem for now but someday I have
to get this opened so I might as well not ignore the
problem now.
Any and all suggestions are greatly welcomed.
