I broke loose the dumb end with air in bag but did the smart end with a socket once air line and brass parts were removed. Problem is the nut stayed put and the entire " hollow bolt" came out of old bag. I have been holding the bag end of bolt with an internal EZ out and breaker bar and been hitting the nut with air impact gun and 6 point socket. Used much penetrant, tryed the freeze it stuff and propane torch on nut. Nothing. I see that the smart end nut is thinner than the dumb end nut. Should I Sawzall through the hollow bolt and try to get a new nut? More heat? Don't want to ruin that hollow bolt fitting or are those available?
