[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 477439, member: 22139"] Using heat to loosen a stuck fastener, you have to heat the area around the bolt quickly. Once the heat soaks into the bolt, it will expand at the same rate as the surrounding material. Propane torch is sometimes enough but sometimes it takes to long allowing the heat to soak through. I prefer to use an acetylene torch, however extreme care must be taken not to overheat and melt the aluminum! Keep at it. Using your propane torch, heat around one clamp bolt about an inch away from the bolt. Move the heat quickly around the bolt area and try cranking the bolt back and forth. Sometimes only a little heat is needed and sometimes a lot, so keep trying the bolt as you heat. Penetrating oil between rounds. Good luck! Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
