How to remove wedged or shanked bolt

Doug, I've been told two different things from knowledgeable people. One is even though LCI calls it a shear bolt, it won't shear because a clutch or breaker will stop the slide's travel before there is enough pressure to shear. Thw other is that it absolutely does shear because people have had it happen. I've had it happen with LCI landing jacks, but while that uses the same type of cross arm, it's a much simpler system than this. One thing I do know is it is unlikely to shear if a shanked bolt is put through the shaft. There is almost no play with the shank portion whereas there is considerable play with a fully threaded bolt.

This became a problem for me when the slide awning hung up stopping the slide from moving out. Had the bolt sheared, it probably would not have jumped the track and it would have been a quick fix.
