Special Installation Problem for sparco style harness bar

Hey all,
I was trying to install the sparco style harness bar just now, and I had a little trouble with the upper bolt of the safety belt---the oem screw is apparently too short, if you put the bolt of the harness bar on it. There would only be around 3mm or less screw thread exposed.

So I need a longer screw, but I am confused about how to take off the oem screw off first. It has a very tight bearing around it, as shown in the pic:



so anyone knows how to take it off? I tried to pull the screw out but apparently it won't work. So I decide to ask before I break anything.

Another pic of the screw from looking behind:

if you look at the first pic you can see the tab around the threads tap it with a hammer and the bolt will pop off
