When I tried to remove the body bolts connecting it to the frame many were
frozen in place. My friend brough his small oxy-acetylene torch and hit the
bolt heads with heat and after the rust popped and the bolts cooled, they
came out easy. Have a fire extinguisher at the ready though although I
didn't have a problem.
