If it's rust, try naval jelly. Stuff works like a charm.

Had to read this one twice. Thought it said KY jelly. My bad.

We do need an update. Did you...

a) Torch it out
b) Punch it out
c) Use the vise grip method with pry bar
d) end up in the ER due to trying any of the above
e) calling the Fire Dept when using "a"
f) Got pissed off and destroyed bracket and snowmobile housing

Inquiry minds would like to know.

Fixing up my sled after getting into an accident last weekend. Unfortunately, there were a couple of riders stopped in the middle of the trail just over the top of a hill... and along comes me. Very lucky there weren’t injuries. There might be a video of it all too.

Anyway. Got it out with a torch on the mount and some prying, banging, bending and turning of the bolt. Slight bend to it which I’m sure made it harder to remove. Thanks, everyone.
