You will have to either pull OR push on it while trying to turn...Apparently the opposing threads are not caged and are turning with your bolt... sometimes pushing a fastener to the side will give it a chance to grab enough to remove...
Once you have it out you can then see what is needed to capture the threads & prevent a re-occurrence... Secure all 4 ... :smile:KennyV

GOOD ... Now, while you have it off, repair the problem so it won't get you again next time you need to remove it.... :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting back that you Got it.... :smile:KennyV
