Hi palaur. That was the first thing I tried. But, for some reason I could not get enough interference between the nuts to grab the bolt. I think the reason I finally got the bolt to budge was the mass quantities of PB Blaster over a 2.5 day period. I was prepared to either brake the Vice Grips, the clamp or the bolt. However, when I got the assembly (Vice grips and clamp) together and started to twist counter clockwise, I heard a BINK ... took a close look at everything and found nothing broke. I reversed direction and turned the bolt back in a half a turn or so, then continued to remove. Prior to getting it out I had a nice discussion with O'Reilly Parts regarding Heli Coils. I was certainly lucky it finally came out.
