The problem is at the end of the bolt that sticks out at the bottom...corrosion has damaged the threads. If you have a small Dremel with a wire brush you could clean up some of those threads. Also applying heat with a hand torch that you can buy at ACE would help too. Just be carefully when using a torch. Me, I have a good compressor with an impact wrench...bang, done.
