The bolt that holds the handbrake on is seized. Makes it challenging to take tub on and off. Anything I should know other than apply penetrating oil or heat?

I think the large bolt is caged, so take you time. You do not need something else to fix. Yes I would oil it up and try and rock the bolt loose, a little one day and little the next. I usually try a sharp smack on a good fitting 6 point wrench helps

Weasel Pi$$!!!

50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. Shake vigorously and apply. Repeat regularly until the thing comes undone.

Doh.... There is in fact a nut on the back side of the frame. Came right off. I had assumed it was bolted into a welded on nut, and hadn't looked. It is things like this that keep me from making fun or light of anyone else's posts...
