Torch the offending stud and hit it with a candle. The wax pulls in and acts as a lubricant. If it turns a bit and then slows up, retorch it and hit it with wax again. I used my torch and PB Blaster to no avail with a stuck exhaust manifold stud and got it out with wax.

We couldn't find a candle at work the other day but found chapstick works in a pinch!

I always wonder, who thought of this first? What desperate situation came to the point where melting a candle was the only thing he hadn't tried yet? haha

How can you put "Oooohhh, that looks tasty" and broccoli in the same thread?

Another name for Broccoli is B Coli ?
