It's always that one bolt...
 
that hinders your maintenance projects :mad:

I'm replacing the currently frayed alternator belt and the pivot bolt won't break loose. PB Blasted it - nothing. No breaker bars, only rachets that are useless without good leverage (not much room between the pivot bolt, axle, lca and ground). The only pipe I can use is a plastic pipe but that just bends and I don't want to round this bolt off.

Arg.

smack the wrench with a hammer :dunno:

lightly....it will break loose eventually.

use the jack bar as a breaker bar>??

I have a short extension on there that would just make the socket jump off the bolt.

Too small a diameter to fit over the rachet handle.

Yup, and the driveway material is so soft that wheels sink into it.
