    Bad idea. If the bolt is not stripped you will strip it by using vice grips

    FASTER THAN DUBBSY

        I have found that just heating the bolt works 95% of the time

            We've come to the point where no extraordinary preformance can occur without the presumption that someone has cheated.

                      I have a soldering iron, could I just set it on the bolt and let it warm up?

                      Also, do you think an impact driver might work?

                        No, soldering iron probably won't work. Use an impact with a 6 pt socket.

                          ALWAYS use a 6pt socket for tight bolts...

                          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                            No. A soldering iron is for wires, not bolts.

                            Just go to the store and buy a propane torch. They are pretty cheap. Heating the bolt up along with a large breaker bar will remove it pretty easily.

                              :drunken_smilie: Get a bigger hammer!!!:drunken_smilie:

                              If your ice skateing down the street and a wheel falls off your canoe, how many pancakes will it take to top a dog house?

                              None, because ice cream has no bones.
