As for my comment about expensive tools: The reason I'm not keen on it is i'm kind of neck-deep in another project for this month that is already eating up the amount of money i'm willing to spend in a given period of time on "bike things." I wouldn't have gotten started on something else if I'd known i didn't have what I needed to put these sliders on.
I broke a second wrench last night before giving up (crescent) since it was the only other thing I had in 14mm. Houtman gave good advice about loosening the nut instead of the bolt. I will give that a try, though it's harder to reach now that I only have a big adjustable wrench to work with. somebody else mentioned penetrating oil, and i have something quite similar to that I can use to try and give it some grease.
I'll either break a third wrench or round off the nut....stay tuned.
