Cut through the bolt that is seized until you hear the tension release. Take your allen key and screw the bolt out.

This happened to my SCS too.

same thing happened to me today, what I did was just tightened all the other bolts as much as I could then the tight one came out. If that doesnt work I would spray some lubricant or silicone spray anywhere you can to get to the treads and bottom of the head of the bolt and try the same thing. If that doesn't work I'd talk to andrew about a replacement
 
This may sound like a stupid question, but since it wasnt answered in this thread, i will ask it, because this is what happened to Chris Sanchez. Did you put them on THREADED forks? If you did it onto THREADED forks, then you're going to have to like cut it or something, im not exactly sure what chris did, but he did it onto threaded forks(he just wanted to see what it looked like on his scooter before making a trade i think) and all but one of the bolts would come out.

I probably just wasted some time typing this. hope that helped.

wait so dont saw all the way through?
You can if the tension doesn't release.

For me I sawed about halfway through then I heard a loud crack. I thought to myself, "Maybe that was the tension releasing itself?" So, I took my allen key and the bolt just screwed right out.
