Brake Problem
-
that was lock-tite, so it doesn't vibrate loose. Main reason for fasteners get stripped is because of improper usage of tools, (wrong socket/wrench size, bad angle, over torquing, etc, etc) lock-tite works perfectly fine as long as the fastener isn't damaged either when it is installed or loosened. Not saying it is your fault, could have been something in the past.

Doesn't that bolt have a torx head on it??? I believe most of them do, and by looking at the picture it seems that way also.Hahahah, that is funny stuff. I am assuming that whoever it was that posted the original question thought it was supposed to be a hex head bolt?

we got it out no need for help now....it didnt matter what the original bit was thats what i meant though. It was a literal circle on the outside and circle on the inside from all the rust/wear on it. Id assume it was the people/mechanics who worked on it before we bought it because it was a salvage titled car so they probably took lots of it apart and back together, who knows. Its off and replaced now though.

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. You heat the nut, or area around the bolt, which makes that expand, and waalllaaa your have a freed up bolt(hopefully).
how does one prevent the heat from transferring to all of the parts? -
experience helps a lot, listen to others who are wise, and dont be afraid to ask questions, just dont act like you know what you are doing when you dont know jack shit.
