Yeah those are knurled to prevent turning when loosening the nuts to add/remove alignment shims, but yours probably rusted themselves in nicely.

Let me tell you about the time (14-1/2 years ago) I thought it would be efficient to put a socket on the bolt head and crank on it to get them out.

Uploading a 340MB video gives me this error:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@forums.kevinallenmoore.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I could post it to YouTube and post a link, but I'd have to set that up and complaining about it here is easier for me.

I can look into it but I really do recommend YouTube for that.

Also that is sad. Imagine how I will feel about my Caprice.
