I messed up my install. Need advice please

Try heating the bolt with a torch but don't over due the heat due to metal fatigue and that should give you room to back it out ..good luck

+1 for you sir! Thanks! I applied heat and used the strut for leverage and worked it out. The threads in the nut failed; i pulled them out like a slinky after i got it off. Im back in business, thanks again
