^^^ Well, you give good advice. The problem is just getting that bolt out in the first place. I'll do what I can, in the meantime I may just have to quit riding for a day or two. I'm wondering if the threading inside the battery has been hammered with cross threading. But I would think if that were the case the bolt would be stuck inside. I'll give it a look.

never mind I noticed you said left hand.
Is the head of the bolt shredded? is that why it won't come off, or is it corroded on?
The head of the bolt is fine. That's the weird thing. I can use a socket or a wrench and turn it just fine but it will neither tighten nor loosen anymore than it already is. It's pretty loose, so it seems as though the bolt isn't catching on anything inside the hole. A friend suggested that after I'm able to get it out, to put some teflon (sp?) tape on it. I'll give that a shot if I can ever get it out.
