Removing rusted bolts (try in this order)
---------------------
- impact wrench (easiest method)
- PB Blaster (MULTIPLE soaks, let it sit over night too, then soak again right before you try removing it
- DON'T use OPEN END or 12-POINT WRENCHES to try to remove stuck bolts, I recommend a hex socket w/ a breaker bar and/or long pipe (have someone hold it on the bolt so you don't slip and tear the head off)
- Use a high temp torch (oxy-acetylene or a MAPP torch), this will always work, if it doesn't you didn't heat it high enough (be sure to turn the bolt while it's super hot), don't melt anything, or yourself
