[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 177246, member: 3278"] Absolutely no reason not to heat that bracket!! Around salt water we call Oxy/Acetlyene the "blue-nosed wrench" as it is used almost daily for that exact purpose. Those of you in fresh water only areas count yourself lucky!. The way I see it is that you still have the other half of the clamp screw to grab onto and use to break it loose after heated. You have to use alot of heat, usually to the point of burning off the paint in the area. Repeated applications of heat and penetrating oil may help but I would definitely use the other end sticking out before drilling and tapping. [/QUOTE]
