Since you were able to remove the left bolt from governor, it would be a great idea to match it up with 2 new bolts ? cheaper too.

Yes.. in a perfect world.. :) 

The left bolt backed out, but cant be removed from governor because of the wall..  so likewise, when installing the new governor both bolts must be in Governor first before putting in place...

I did go by the hardware.. they sold bolts in 1/2" increment's after 1.75"  so I ended up buying  3 pairs of bolts....  3" .....  3.5" .... and 4"    and bought the 90 degree flare to pipe thread I cut off too...

I went by NAPA also.... a special that's ongoing,  on the second Saturday only, of each month for the rest of the year.. from 7AM to 10AM, everything in the store that is a non sale item is 30% off.. also includes items you have to order from the store, as long a you prepay for it during those 3 hours... after 10AM  it drops to 20% for the rest of the day..

I'm given ya'll pearls here..!!!      :)

I am thinking this might be just a Texas thing...

Another thing I would try is take a propane blow torch with you and heat the area AROUND the frozen bolt pretty good and try and keep the flame away from the bolt. This may help and give a bit of expansion to free the threads. Of course you need to have removed the Govenor first to do this.

If your governor is that close. You might have to pull the compressor off to get the governor off in order to get the bolt out. What a pain in the arse this has turned out to be for you!!

Agreed Stump, 

What entails removing the compressor?  I hope I don't have to resort
to that..!!!
