What I have found that works sometimes is to take a good hammer and smack the tops of the bolt heads to set up a vibration that might break them loose. If the heads are not completly rounded you might want to try a good Snap-On 6-point socket. Don't know what it is about these but they seem to grip just about anything. A torch wont do any good as the threads are siezed and you wont get enough heat down to loosen them up so the hammer might be the way to go. A good strong WHAP might do the trick if you have the clearance otherwise a good punch on its head would give you a fighting chance.


Cold in Wisconsin eh? Minnesota isnt any better!
