I already ruined my soft blow hammer on the bolt. I didn't want to use a regular hammer. Can they get stuck sometimes?

Well isn't it?.
If ya ruined a soft blow hammer ya may want to slug it with your fist rather than a hammer. ..........lm

get a long rod or screwdriver and bang it out from the other side.

Thanks, I was just curious if the notches on the bolt get caught on the bushings sometimes. I hammered that thing for an hour and it didn't move. The bolt is now destroyed cause I used a regular hammer. I think I'll try cutting the head off and hammering it out the other way.

I have a spare bolt somewhere I think. Yours for the $5 it costs to ship it.
