so you are saying I run a 3/8 drive extension through the center of the bolt? I just tried this and the 3/8 extension is to big(Fat) to got through the bolt hole?
any other ideas? I don't need to reuse the bolt since the new 90 degree adapter does not require the use of this bolt.
last one i did i use a 1/2" drive airgun with a impact socket, couple fast bumps it came right off.
seems I had to grind a 3/8" drive 3" extention to fit the small square in the center of the nipple before also. I just used my 3/8" drive airgun and spun it right out.
before I ran my 90* adaptor I drilled it out to 1/2" and used a small ball shaped stone and sanding rolls to radius/blend the turns for better flow.

if you aren't going to use the nipple and plate again, use a chisel. be careful, and not too big a hammer. just enough to get it to break loose. that thing has been on there for 40 years now.
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

I'd do Po'boys' trick & tap one of the holes in the flat plate CCW & see if turning the flat plate will grab the nut/insert & get it coming out. If not I'd as said grind a socket end chamfer flat & then keep the socket on the nut square as your trying to break it loose. EDIT first give the extension/socket a few good whacks straight on with a BFH. I checked one today & it has a smooth round bore inside. I coulda sworn I saw one way back that was square or hex inside

NO! NOOOOOO.... Don't ask me how I know this. use the large round gasket for the housing, and the small round gaskets,one for the inside around the hollow bolt, one for the outside under the hollow bolt head.When I was about 19, that thing gave me fits! Hope this helps, Bear

slip the thin one on the bolt then insert the bolt/thin washer into the adapter then slip the thick cork on the bolt inside the concave face on the other end

Me too. I suffer from ADD (all day drama) & IDGAF (I dont give a fxxx). Slip the thin one on the bolt & lodge it under the bolt head. Then insert the bolt (with the thin washer on it) into the adapter. Then on the other side add the thick cork washer to the threaded end of the bolt that protrudes from the concave face on the inside. Make sure the block circular recess is cleaned of all gasket material. Torque on the big bolt is 50 lbs (cleaned/lightly oiled threads) EDIT The thin one goes next to the bolt head (outside). The other thin one (thick cork) goes on the bolt on the (inside) AFTER you insert the bolt/thin washer into the adapter. Then the large circular gasket as you know goes in the block circular recess.
