Probably impractical given the situation, but I always found the wing bolts went in an out very easily and without any heavy pounding – heck, no pounding at all. I use my rivet gun and the gentle but persistent vibration would work the bolt right out without galling or any adverse effects. A muffler removal tool might work, but you can’t control the degree of impact that you can with a rivet gun, so I would be hesitant to use one.

After eight hours of non-stop hammering, bounding, and cussing we finally left Triple Tree Aerodrome without the airplane. One of the small bolts on the lower right side of the right wing just didn’t want to cooperate. Lack of space, tapered fuselage, etc. didn’t help the situation.
Pat, the owner of the place was kind enough to give the cadre of people who came to help rides in his BT-13. (Much thanks to Pat!)
Thanks to all of you who showed up to help. I really appreciate the time, assistance, and encouragement.
If any of you have any tips on how to get that one offending bolt out of an RV-7 or -9, please let me know.

PS. I’m still shaking my head at the insurance guy’s estimate of 10 hours to get the thing ready to put on a trailer.

Are there other bolts left in the spar? If not, reinstalling the bigger ones may take some load off the smaller one. Put a couple of the bigger ones back in (Ace hardware grade, not the real ones), knock out the little one, then remove the big ones.....
Maybe....
