“Long pipe on the end of socket breaker bar may move or wring it off.   

Also, how about drilling it with different size bits till it comes out. Got the  

same set up for my bike rack with the threaded bolt and lock pin.

It’s like the bolt is missing threads somewhere in the middle of the threaded section, and is too buggered to start again.  The drill may have it…  I might also drill the adapter out (it is some sort of glass-filled composite) and hacksaw the bolt on both sides, INSIDE the receiver. BHY

 “Well if I understand what you have it sounds like you need some HEAT.

Heat the threaded section of steel and then use a good socket and

breaker bar on the bolt. Once out chase the threads OR bore the entire

thing out so a standard pin will fit through it.

Steve W.” Steve, I am reluctant to heat it, as I don’t know what sort of fumious stuff that might issue forth from the composite adapter, or maybe even a good fire.I have thoroughly irritated myself, though, by ruining a $20 tool on the project, and buying more that haven’t got the job done.  Anyone have a sawzall handy?
