 Due to location I cant use vice grips. Its on the
 rear wheel cylinder. The bolt is just stuck. Used
 wd-40 for three days to free up rust. Didnt work.

You could weld a tab on it and than try to turn it. Or do this. sounds crazy
but it works. use a propane torch and heat it up than get a thin long candle
and hold it against the bolt. the wax will go in the threads and than try to
turn the bolt. you could pound a socket on there thats a little smaller or a
box end wrench. where is the bolt so i get a better idea?
