How do you un-stick a bolt??

Exhaust bolt, the one that holds can bracket onto the peg hanger.. it's sort of stuck and won't come off

What's best/safest way to get it off without resorting to a blow torch and big hammer

a hand impact with the correct sized bit and a medium sized hammer

Problem is there is a nut on the other end, hard to hold everything and do that at same time, also what seems to be happening is the bolt mooves up/down/left/right in the hole (wrong size?) so when trying to undo it's also bent the bolt which is making it impossible to turn anyway

I'm not sure what to do and need to get the exhaust off tomorow at latest as I sold it to TSM and don't want to keep him waiting with delivery

If you're having trouble keeping all the bits in place, you should be able to wedge a ring spanner in place using bungees to hold it, if you fiddle around enough. Alternatively, you might want to consider simply chopping the head off the bolt with a grinder...
