On a 900Sie the bolt has to be turned several times anti-clockwise to remove it, then it comes right out and can be replaced or renewed.
The nut is stopped from turning by locating in a slot in the swinging arm which is lined with a snug fitting steel channel, fitting both the slot and nut. neither are attached to the swinging arm and fall out once the bolt is removed, so not sure how the bolt is "captive" as such?

Be careful of paintwork and other soluble parts with Acetone. It dissolves most things, some quite quickly.

Maybe time to try the rattle gun again. I find very short blasts to work best with those. The first hit is the one that does the trick in most cases. Holding the trigger relentlessly doesn't seem to achieve much!
