Hi all, new here, old problem.... Snap!

Have you tried vice grips? Sounds silly bud with the head off and the tension now off it should be a lot easier. You're going into aluminum so the other option would be to heat it up with a torch from lowes and then vice grip it out. The aluminum and steel will expand at different rates and help free it. Good luck.

Do they have Lowe's in the UK?

I believe that the bolt is bolted into a welded nut (not aluminum) and what truegearhead is recommending: Use penetrating oil (soak it for a couple of days..), then applying some heat and vise grips has worked out for me a few times before.

Good luck!
