Cerjak, your making progress!! Make sure to use a LOT of oil, the bolt threads are usually quite coarse. There is a special penetrating oil if it still will not come out that you can use, and you do not want to force it as they can snap. You can also put ice on the bolt head before trying to remove it as this will contract the molecules of the bolt slightly. Good luck.

If you get a chance can you take some pictures of the ramrod, thanks.
