AAL install.. cannot remove center bolt

As the title said.. I'm installing some AAL today... and I was not able to remove the center bolt. It spins but does not loosen. Is the bolt inside possibly loose? Any suggestions?

Get an extension and punch it out, but you'd better have the leaves C-clamped or for you. I'd try TTORA for help/advice/write-ups.

can you not get the nut off? If so you just need some vice grips on the round part of the pin then take off the nut.

yup..... there is no inner bolt, the bolt head is actually round....... you need some vicegrips to clamp the top of the bolt and a socket on the nut
