Anyone got an idea how to remove this bolt? Can’t remove the linkage...

Pictures fixed
Could be completely wrong but it looks to me like it might push out rather than unscrew, but could be rust seized so will require a lot of force.
I've never actually removed the linkage on one of these bikes so I wouldn't start hammering until someone else can confirm though

Should push out from the other side. I had this problem and in the end resorted to cutting it out and buying a used relay arm.
The bearings were rusted solid on mine -

Would applying heat be a good or bad idea??

The main issue is getting at it to drift it out. The frame rail is in the way unfortunately
