Do you have a torque wrench for the installation part of this project?

I agree, loosen the nut, not the bolt, and please use a proper socket on it. A rounded off nut will be a bear to deal with.

+1 and use a 6 point shallow socket with 2-feet Johnson bar.. if nut/bolt ass-y turns together, need to hold the bolt's head by wrench and continue loosening the nut by Johnson - as already suggested by other members. Apply WD-40 to the nut and let is soak for a while.
Good luck.
