Marathon starter stubborn mounting bolt
Cannot remove the starter mounting bolt on my marathon cart. Starter easily pivots on bolt though. Thru bolt has a tab on the side of the bolt where there would be a bolt head. Tried hammering nut placed at end of threaded section of bolt. Also tried prying other end of bolt with old screwdriver. soaked ends of bolt with PB blaster. is there something else I should be doing with the tabbed end of the bolt ? Bolt wont rotate or move, no bolt head to turn. Motor is out of cart so access to the bolt is good. Thx.

Re: Marathon starter stubborn mounting bolt
Can you get at it with a long rod so that you can get a good swing from a sledge? Keep it soaked with PB blaster and see.

Re: Marathon starter stubborn mounting bolt
Thx I will try that. I have been soaking with pb blaster. I think I will have enough access. If the bolt had a head rather than the flat clip I could have turned the bolt head to loosen the bolt. I tried to turn the clip with vise grips but the bolt won't budge. Never had such problems taking similar mounting through bolts off starters or alternators on cars.
