It has been 6 hours. Did you try anything that was suggested?
No, I cannot get to the mill until tomorrow. Tomorrow may be the "big
day" when I put the mill on trailer.
Worse comes to worse, you can drill a shcs out. Since my employer
uses a lot of carbide twist drills, I put an edge on one from the
carbide scrap bucket and use that with a hand drill. I often break
them or chip them, but I just grab another and keep going.
Once the head is off, the remaining portion tends to be finger tight.
Wes, I hope that I just get it with the proper tool. I have a breaker
bar with a 3/8" socket and a piece of a 3/8" allen key to fit the
socket and the bolt. I think that it should work.
