Another seriously stuck bolt. Suggestions for getting it out? I got lucky and got the other one out. This one is saying hell no!

Pb blaster and heat would be my recommendation. Mine came out easy last time I did the fork seals

Thanks Philly. The Pb Blaster did the trick on the left side. Nada on the right one. I’ll try some heat today.
I’m also waiting on an adapter for my pneumatic impact wrench. My Ryobi 18v 1/4” driver is usually up to the task on stubborn fasteners, but it’s met its match on this one.

Hand impact works wonders. Combination of twisting and shock loading.

In theory, theory and reality are the same. In reality, they aren't...

Thanks Armen. My hand impact is broken. I need to get a new one. It probably would work. Forgot about it since it was broke.
