I had trouble getting the bottom bolt out on my 748 a couple of years ago.
The problem is that the bolt head on LHS corrodes into swinging arm bore.
I had to carefully drill the head off (without damaging s/arm) and also the flat edged bush on RHS.
Once both ends of bolt were drilled off I then had to drift the remains of the bolt out.
If you have snapped an 8mm socket drive allen key then I rekon your bolt is corroded into the bore.
It's that dissimilar metal situation again - it's a b*gger!
