Has anyone experienced problems getting the bushing out of the bolt which allows for adjustment of belt tension? All bolts and electrical are disconnected but that bushing seems seized!!

Yes, I had the same problem when trying to change the belt on mine. I had to soak it overnight with some liquid wrench and then I took a brass punch and hammer and tapped the head of the bolt a few times. It finally broke loose and when I remove it, it was heavily oxidized. I put some anti-seize on it when I re-assembled.
