[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 424968, member: 3278"] Try your penetrating oil if you like. As far as heat goes you will probably need oxy/acetylene to get enough heat. If you do not have that then my advice would be to cut the heads off the bolts, pull the L/U and try heat again on the threaded areas. Many times the bolts are stuck by corrosion in the shoulder area below the head and above the threads. At any rate by doing this you stand a decent chance of removing the damaged fasteners rather than drilling each one. [/QUOTE]
