Hello,
When I had a stud that wasn't budging I used lots of liquid
wrench for like a day before hand and kept tapping the stud with a rubber
mallet. Tap tap spray tap tap spray. It loosedend up and I was able to turn
it with a set of vise grips loocked on firmly. There is another product
out there called an x-out which is some kind of reverse threaded drill bit
which will back the bolt out...have not tried them but they got good reports
in a couple of mags.
