Unfortunately not mate, live in an apartment so no storage. I think I'll just give it to my mechanic,.I've a funny feeling it's going to shear. Never came across the likes of it and I've done a lot of ****ty jobs like hubs etc on motors!

Hi Dec, have heard a theory somewhere how steel reacts with aluminium ,a chemical reaction occurs and they become almost inseparable , think something like a zinc paste on the bolt should of been used to keep them separate, but I could be talking B======s, will have a look at that myself, a bitch really, sorry couldn't help matey.

Did look and here it is, should have had to copper grease, is all very technical, too technical for me

maybe it got cross threaded and someone just kept running it in? anyhow, find someone with a welder, weld a nut onto the bolt and let it cool off and spray it with penetrating oil, and if you can, take a torch to the motor mount while you try to back the bolt out. it might take welding a few nuts to it, but it'll come out eventually.
also, get a tap to chase the threads when you get the bolt out. im gonna assume its 10x1.25, so maybe call around to different hardware stores, its not a common size.

Yeah that and the bike on its stand in the rain, water would have been seeping down over the years to bind everything together. A nice fresh set of sliders has turned into not a good idea ffs!
