Tnx to whoever posted the noted about melting candle wax to losen
impossibly frozen hardware. I had a 1/4 inch bolt on which I was ready to
use a block of C4. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I used four heat cycles
of MAPP torch on the bolt head, followed by pressing a candle against the
threads and against the bolt head. The bolt all but unscrewed itself.
hth someone else. Frankly I thought it was hokie, but the trick worked!
