Whilst on grass seeds a large lump went through breaking the concave shearbolt ( rotary combine ) - replaced shearbolt but as it slammed down it seems wedged and wont pull back up. Tried under each side with some jack pressure but still not budging - any tips please before we bend something - thanks.

Only way we found was to use a sabre saw and cut each side to release the mechanism. Once free weld a 10mm rod onto each side of the vertical sliding piece to stop it ever happening again.
