Gear bolt

I want to document, and share a trick I just learned while removing the landing gear bolt. If you spray it with PB Blaster, and wait a few minutes and then take the nut off, then spray it again with PB Blaster, you can unscrew the bolt out of the gear leg. The gear leg is not threaded, but it's hard to get the bolt out out with corrosion or rust. If you unscrew the bolt, the PB Blaster will break down the rust after a minute or so of turning in the hole. The bolt just slides out after a minute or so.
