[Public-List] Tiller Head - I'm stuck!

I'm about to embark on a cockpit floor re-core, but I've hit a roadblock
getting the tiller head off.

In front of the tiller head is a big (5/8 If I remember) bolt head.  This
bolt..no way is that sucker moving.  So far a couple of days dribbling in
some PB Blaster and still nothing. The bolt looks like steel.

What exactly is this bolt? Does the bolt go through the rudder shaft? I can
just almost barely see the back side, and it looks like there *may* be a
hole. Is this common to all boats?
