The previously mentioned two nut method would be the first thing I'd try, the more extreme version is to put a nut on and get it welded in place.
good luck!

We have successfully removed all the nuts and bolts of the quadrant, but are having trouble removing the final threaded bolts securing the post in position. (These are two threaded bolts coming out of the sides of the post, with a ring/washer at the end of the thread, closest to the post, but this item can not be removed with a wrench, as it is round. photos available at https://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?threads/rudder-post-removal.195200/) Can anyone provide info regarding how to remove these threaded bolts ? Also, once these are removed, will we be able to drop the rudder? Any suggestions where to find replacement bearings if needed? Best lubrication to use? Any advice will be appreciated.
