R&G Crash bungs

Right, I tried to fit my crash bungs today, but could not for the life of me get my front engine mounting bolt to move, let alone remove it. Has anyone got any tricks or tips on how to loosen it up for removal? Sprayed it with wd40, tried to clean what i could of any corrosion off, I had the bike on its rear paddock stand and supported the weight of the engine with a jack.

Thanks

Matt

I e-mailed R&G today about my dilemma in a sperate threasd and got this back;

I don;t know if it will help much, but someone with a bit of metal technical knowledge may be able to advise..
I would give it a shot after a ride, the frame and bolt will be warm and may be more inclined to budge?
As per tightening exhaust clamps when the system is hot. ??
