Disregard this Post

Brian,

Do you have a pic of the bracket that holds the choke and throttle cables. In this pic it is just out of view.

All of the bolt removal methods are great, used every one more than I can remember.
The wax doesn't penetrate better, but it creates a seperation between the two parts, and I've even used one of the kids crayons before.
Weather you use pb-blaster wax or something else, you want to put heat on the bolt, tap it some, and even using vicegrips, file or grind two flats on it first so you don't spin, the more you spin, the less you have to hold on to. More than one heating, lubing and tapping may be needed to get it free.
Be patient, the last bolt I machined out for a customer cost 500, granted it was a 2.5" bolt. hehe

I applied some penetrating oil yesterday and let it sit over night, I went out this morning and taped it with a hammer and a couple of times and it came out with my fingers. It must not have been seized at all, just glad it's out:yelclap: .

Glad to hear it came out easily

I'm glad you got the bolt out easily! That makes life a lot easier LOL! As far as getting a seized bolt out, I have always had better luck heating (expanding) the part that the bolt is stuck in. It shouldn't require much heat unless it's rusted in place. You should gain 2 to 3 thousandths of clearance at 325* F. If you heat it too much the heat transfers to the bolt and you have to let it cool and start over. This is just my $.02, but it always works for me, unless as I said before, it's badly rusted in. In that case patience, tapping, penetrating oil etc.

Well I've never been so lucky with a bolt that looked like that one! But glad luck was on your side!
