BTW. Wow I didn't expect any replies in such old topic. I am really impressed.

I'm sure you'll be aware (don't want to teach anyone to suck eggs!) but be really careful if it needs heat, aluminium gearbox will melt/fracture very easily. Try some WD40 or similar and leave it for a short while just in case that's enough to shift it. Also if the bolt is slightly rounded make sure you use a 6 sided socket and not a multi spline one (unless you're already doing that anyway). Could be enough to help shift it.
