Bahahahwahahahw............. yeah, fire a torch up near the gas tank, that outta blow that sucker outta there,..... Bahahahahahahaaha.

They now have this stuff in a spray can that makes things ice cold which would cause the bolt to shrink and shouldnt hurt the paint. Saw it on the weekend truck building shows on Spike. Also may be alot safer than a torch near the gas tank.

 

It is made by Loctite and it is called "Freeze and Release" it has a penetrant in it and say it cools to -45 deg. F.

 

Ez-out...........last resort. With the t40 fitting in the bolt head it should be pretty easy to hit the center of the bolt. If you are using heat I wouldn't use anything but a hair dryer. Anything else may peal the paint or............worse.
Sometimes when drilling the bolt head to use an Ez-out the (if you get in the center of the screw diameter) screw body will collapse and loosen up.

 

Impact driver. Worked like a charm when I had to get that bolt off.

 

Yes!

Yes!

No!

Yes!

 

Impact driver if you have access. The spray stuff sounds cool, soldering iron if you go heat. Personally I would drill the head off of it before trying an easy out. When you snap the easy out off, there will be no drilling after that unless you have some dental burs and some skills.

 

It doesn't seem like applying heat would be the solution. That would cause the bolt to expand. You would need to heat the frame where the bolt is inserted I would think. Cooling the bolt would cause it to contract, such as using the loctite spray that has been mentioned.

 

Got it thanks! Liquid wrench worked thank god.

 

Crap! I was hoping you'd use the torch.

(just kidding, got a say that, some mis-understand my humor)

Glad you got your mission accomplished.
