top bolt on bearing carrier

[bickel76]

we couldnt get the top bolt on the bearing carrier to totally tighten the other day. now we cant loosen the bolt. we are using a breaker bar with a pipe and the thing will just barely budge. has anyone ran into this problem before? more than likely we are just gonna have to cut the end off and use the original bolt.

This might sound dumb but are you holding the other end of the bolt with a 17mm wrench or socket.... anything haha. Ive never had mine get too tight that i couldnt loosen it alone with no help so try some pb blaster or wd40 that should clean up the threads.

we ended up having to cut it off. yeah, we were holding the other end with a wrench. it was loose enough to where it would spin inside the carrier. it was as if there was something in the threads and it just siezed up on us. easy fix, but i was just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem.
