Probably just called a round thing, but resembles a sargsprint.
Has at least an 8-digit article number with the manufacturer.
What is the diameter of the thing and the screw.
The thing is simple to manufacture, but a 110 mm long screw with threads all the way might be harder to find.

PS How much have you applied and pulled, put the thing in a vise? WD 40 and rocking back and forth can help. DS

The round thing can be bought in different sizes here: Cross Dowels - www.missingscrew.co.uk For the long screw, I would take a piece of threaded rod and replace the head with two nuts tightened against each other.

Whatever it's called, that can be fixed with oil, it's not that serious.
Most important: Don't Rush!
Don't. Rush.
Apply oil to the thread that is stuck, regular motor oil works, or sewing machine oil. ATF, automatic transmission fluid (or carburetor oil, those who remember) also works well.
Wait, let it seep in. If you have a heat gun, you can warm it a bit. Sometimes it might take a couple of days, up to a week.
Gradually, you can test it a bit, and when it starts to loosen, work in more oil and move back and forth. Once it runs the entire thread length, wipe it clean and lubricate with what's supposed to be used, I would recommend some common uncomplicated grease.
Then, disassemble, clean, and lubricate again once a year before it starts sticking again.

Nah, it feels like that's where the line is drawn.Smackbonk said:
If it's just stuck so tight that you can't unscrew it by hand, it feels like a good solution. No, of course, I don't mean you should apply so much force that it breaks, but to try it gently if it might help. It's easier when you have it securely held in something.Fotografen said:
