WD40 is not a penetrating solution. In the U.K. The best stuff for seized bolts is Plusgas. Available from most motor factors. Soak in that for 24 hours before trying to remove.
Well is it out yet? I'd take a dremel and cut a slot for a screw driver . If you can get it moving I'd turn it in word and thru the body . I'd also run a tap thru the hole before installing it again. Kerosene and 3in 1 oil will penetrate and lube even transmission fluid is good .
I did finally get it out...tried a few of your guys suggestions..finally thought to check if the set screw was steel or not and it was..so I was able to weld a nut to the small remaining piece of set screw and back it out with a 1/2" wrench...thanks for all your suggestions...
That set screw was larger than I expected just replaced it with a 5/6 course bolt..seems to be doing the trick...no projects at tye moment but its ready to go when I do
