If you don't have air tools, and are not strong enough to loosen the bolt, then take out the small bolt I'm pointing to in that picture, and use tools to loosen the nut that is welded to the plate. It comes off easier than the bolt. After you loosen it, just re-align the plate, and put the smaller bolt back in.

I don't understand the statement in bold above. If the large nut is welded to the plate, and you choose to be "strong" and not remove the smaller nut like you say, and try to crack loose just the large nut with the small one still attached, then won't you be breaking the weld between the large nut and the plate? Wont you also be trying to shear off the smaller bolt? Shouldn't the weld be kept, and always remove the smaller nut first? This also means when turning the large nut, the plate will turn with it. Please clarify, as I don't think breaking welds to disassemble this joint was the intention of HMC for this connection.
