   A six sided socket,a good one,and an impact driver set at low then gradually increased might work. Or the type that you hit w/ a hammer wile you twist counter clockwise. These work good and not much money either. Heating the cutter head will make it expand, but it could also damage bearing seals and paint etc. When I'm pressing a bearing into anything steel I'll freeze the bearing and heat the part w/ a torch.

   More W/D. Good luck!

   I've used the abrasive cut off wheel in my Dremel tool to cut part way through it then it comes loose and I replace the damaged gib screw. The original wrench is often poor quality and should be replaced in the beginning.

   another generic thought on removing stuck bolts, Breakfree CLP. Stands for Cleaner Lubricant Preservative, I think. I get it at a gun shop, since it originated as a gun cleaner in the military, but I use it for all kinds of stuff. Leave it sit a few hours and nasty bolts seem to slip around pretty easy. I soak my Hilti gun in the stuff overnight after heavy use. All the grime, fouling, powder residue just slides off. Worth a shot.

   Ahem...er...uhm...Never mind.

   Standing over the jointer I wondered why the machine didn't have a factory wrench. I had already tried a 5/16 and an 8mm box end wrench neither was working good. Digging around on the bottom of the homeade base if found the factory wrench (8mm) and, what-do-you-know, it worked.

   Thanks everyone for your quick responses.

   Jase--Is there a better way?
