Tried dry ice?
Shrink the bolt and the nut may come lose...

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

P.S, dont think you can steal this idea either, we (KIWIS) own it, just like the pavlova!
