I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out with my problem. I finally was able to get what I was seeing to correspond with what I was reading, and get the thing removed. I've noticed that alot of my hardware is completely rusted out. Does any know if one of our fine parts dealers sells stainless nuts, bolts, etc? Or possible has a conversion table so that I can find out my own hardware. E.g. M6 = x size, x length, etc. Thanks, Jonathan
