If it's tight I'd crack it with a nut cracker then remove it rather than breaking that special bolt with the round head. Unscrew the clamps evenly to release the old leafs then add/replace the new leafs & compress em with the C clamps so you can reinstall a new nut on the center bolt live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
