Hi Kelvin,
If you have a propane torch, try the melted candle method. It really works.
The wax melts and runs down the bolt through the rust. It acts as a
lubricant once inside the problem area. Position the assembly so the
threaded end of the bolt is pointing "UP". Gravity will be on your side
then. Heat the threaded end of the bolt with the torch and melt a regular
candle down the threads. It might take 10 minutes or so of heating and
melting. Thread a nut on the end of the bolt so you don't screw up the
threads as you pound on it. Not so much to save the bolt but just the
threaded shaft of the bolt from mushrooming out from beating on it. Continue
doing it until the bolt pounds out. Laugh if you want guys but this really
works!
Good Luck,
Dave Connitt
