Hi all,
So 36 hours later and half a can of PB gone, I finally got the darn bolt out. Took a combination of heat, ( around the bolt, but not directly on it) AeroKoil overnite each nite, tapping the screw. Then in the end I found a good smaller pair of vice grips and literally hurt my hand clamping down. Then, as I was twisting on the thing after heating the area around it, and showering it with PB as I turned, it started loosening up. Back and forth, back and forth, took awhile, but got it done.
In the end was it the hear? or just a good grip and letting the penetrating oil do the work, well who knows, I'd like to think it was a combination of all three.
Thanks
Cp
