Hi, Dylan & all, I would use the propane, Then WD-40, while still hot. (don't breath fumes)! Then I would squarely hit the top of the bolt a few times, (carefully, don't break anything)! to jar it loose, with a fairly good sized metal ball peen type hammer. Then try it. If it's still stuck, While repeatedly striking the socket wrench (not ratchet) while attempting to turn. This may require a helper. As always, lots of WD-40. best of luck, John C. SLC, UT... |
