BUT... knowing I've ordered one and not being one to be beaten by what is just a special bolt in a pipe I threw caution to the wind. I welded two flat plates to the tube because it kept spinning in the two vises i was simultaneously using to hold it. So with the pipe in the fixtures, liberally soaked in kroil, with an appropriate application of heat,and using an industrial pipe wrench, with a 4' breaker pipe over the handle. I almost ripped the vises from the table using clockwise torque (left hand thread),
It never budged. I've conclusively proven Land Rover didn't intend for it to be removed

as far as heat goes, i propaned it to almost red. That didn't work, i figured the heat from welding would have shocked it free (usually works)..... nope
