Used that stuff to remove snapped head studs, it's awesome when applied correctly.kiwi-jono wrote:http://www.loctitefreezeandrelease.com/
ive used this before with varied levels of success and wurth rost off plus always seems to do the job in the situations ive come across
also good fitting tools, last thing you want to do is strip anything, ive found some different brands of tools can have varied levels of snugness and bite

Try this NEVER FAIL KIWI method, best fitting hex key you got, what ever penetrating fluid you want, put a piece of pipe on the long end of the hex key, put weight on the key, and with ONE ABRUPT MOTION, give it a real good hard sudden jolt, you will hear a loud crack! dont panic, you havent broken the bolt! now remove said bolt at your leisure.... dunno about applying too much heat, you know what happens when you heat fluids in a seald container........ you can use this TRIED AND TRUSTED KIWI method on pretty much ANY stubborn bolts, good luck. P.S, dont think you can steal this idea either, we (KIWIS) own it, just like the pavlova!
