When an object is heated, it will expand. When cooled it will contract. So if you quickly heat and cool a stuck nut and bolt, it can break apart the rust or whatever is causing it to stick.
How is a nut like a bolt
Move the nut on the shifter bolt from the front of the shifter(closest to engine) and put it on the rear of the shifter bolt. Tighten it as much as possible (did mine with a 17mm box end wrench). once it's tight, remove the nut and put in on the other side again (just enough to cover the threads.) A couple of quick taps with a hammer and out she comes !
Spray it with a penetrating oil leave it for a few hours then try to loosen it, or heat the nut up quickly and try to remove it then.
Once you have loosened the alternator belt, creep under the car and remove the nut that holds the pivot bolt to the engine block, you actually do not have to remove the bolt entirely to be able to remove the alternator. Loosening the pivot will be enough.
2"
The best way is to "double nut" them. Thread one nut halfway down the bolt, then thread another down against that one. Use a wrench on the first (bottom) nut to back the bolt out.
try using vice grips to hold the nut while you use a wrench on the bolt Using 6 point sockets or wrenches will help reduce that situation from happening.
removal of ammo tube also permit removal of bolt . loosen the lock nut and loosen the screw which is locked by the lock nut.
