[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1135383, member: 178786"] Perhaps remove the feed arms from the dish end and then remove any non stripped bolts and screws from the tripod shaped assembly to dismantle the feed collar as much as possible. Once you are left with the rogue arm/bolt you should be able to separate them. On the basis that the thread is stripped beyond repair in the feed arm, if there is enough wall thickness to allow tapping to the next size up you could re-tap it. Alternatively, if there in not enough wall thickness for re-tapping you could look around for a threaded insert of suitable O/D to fit inside the feed arm tube. I have attached a picture below of the threaded inserts I use to make up Precision/Elite Antennas feed support arms. They are bonded in place with superglue or an appropriate bonding agent. .
