hopes and dreams work better than this

If you live in the rust belt you better hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Never go into a job with a "this will be easy" mentality.

>>28871460
Don't use a impact on little bolts like that. Stuck bolts require patience, penetrating oil and heat.

>>28871463
It won't make bolts magically come out but it will prevent the threads from ripping out when it finally breaks loose.

your supposed to let penetrating oils sit overnight

Hit the head with a hammer, it cracks the rust

>>28871460
Melt lead in a box wrench end around the snapped stem and once hardened. Turn the fastener till its out.

Couldn't be me.

>>28871475
every time i snapped a bolt was when i just leaned into it with a cheater bar. impacts always got it off without breaking anything.
also atf is best penetrant

First of all use a size smaller socket. Switch between imperial and metric to go incrementally and hammer the socket over the bolt. Hammering it can sometimes release the rust in the thread.

If >>28871460 happens you can try a blowtorch and mole grips to remove the remaining thread. Ofc this is all providing its on parts that you can access easily.

But basically stop being a bitch.
