    Is this the first webster troy sighting?

    I use anti sieze for the stubborn ones. If you can soak them its even better...looks like thst grinder made short work of it

      Did you try heating it up red and then throwing ice cold water on it? Normally makes them pretty easy to get off for me

          CRC makes a product called, "Knock 'Er Loose." It's a pine-based penetrating oil in aerosol form. We use it at work and it works like a champ.

            You should have sprayed some WT-40 on them. Guaranteed to budge your bolts.

              Every mechanic needs a nut splitter.

              It has saved me quite a few times

                That grinder with a cutoff wheel is much faster than a wrench anyway.

                      With his luck he should have made a call ahead to the health insurance provider and let them know he was going to be using power tools

                        I use pb Chemtool I believe is what it's called. Works better than else I've ever tried

                          You know leaf spring bolts are "splined" right below the head.....so yeah, they're made not to turn. Take the lock nut off the inside and drive the bolt out.....



                          You should really seek help.....those jackets look warm, and the padded room means you never have to look for a pillow.
