[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4085222, member: 45785"] Dude, that's why they invented penetrating oils! Even WD-40 works OK for that. Spray it. Hit it with a wrench. Both directions! Walk past it and spray it again. Hit it with an impact tool. Spray it again. Walk past and hit with with wrench again. Then spray it again. Repeat as necessary. Eventually, it WILL come lose. PB-Blaster works a little faster, but it's more expensive. You can fake your own penetrating oil up sing a 50/50 mix of acetone and auto transmission fluid, and the same procedure for breaking the bolts or nuts or studs or whatever loose. Also, buy a set of left-hand drill bits for when you break the bold or stud... As my dad used to say, don't force it, use a bigger hammer! If you don't have time for repeated applications, use a blow torch, plumber's torch, or an oxy-acetylene torch (the proverbial blue wrench) to get it hot, then spray it. Speeds things up, and if all else fails, you can just go ahead and cut it off or out. [/QUOTE]
