Heat. More heat. Lots more heat. And put it directly on the bolt until it glows cherry red.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Ditto,  maybe take it to a local shop or garage to have them spin it off. Or buy an 18v impact wrench...Larry

If you put a taper on the end of the broom stick with a belt sander it will work better.  Give the broom stick a couple of taps with a hammer to seat it then put the stick in a vice so you have both hands free.

I got it off earlier. I used a file with a tapper and gave it a thump. Worked like a charm.

Thanx a gain fellas. Now it's lowered properly.
