Flathead -- great pictures and instructions. Adding the washer did it for me. Thanks.

A trick that I've found to be effective is to heat the bolt/stud red hot and then apply a wax candle to it. The wax will melt and then wick into the threads. When the part cools, the wax will lubricate the threads; easing the removal of the bolt/stud.
