Hi if you are putting new arms on anyway just heat the bolt up with a blow torch that will free it up.

    After 3 days in engine dip and few hours of heating and try to take out the bolt didn't move a millimetres.... Any idea for solution? 

    • I had a very similar problem when I was trying to remove a long steele bolt from my Virago aluminium engine.
    • I purchased a rattle gun (Off ebay) . It came out in no time.
    • The constant vibration slowly loosened it up, then it started to spin and walla.

    But even my nut didn't t won't go out. You use the gun before remove the nut or with it.

    Got the nut off first using heat.

    You can always use a nut splitter or a dremel to cut through it.
