i hope this is of some use

If all else fails, get a small hacksaw blade and run a cut down the centre of the bolt. Dont go to far.

It might slightly damage the head threads but, this wont matter.

This should remove the tension and allow you to remvoe it (you can always do a second cut opposite to make it easier)

When you re-fit, put a smear of sealent on the threads.

wd 40 is similar but may be not as affective

not everyone carries plusgas as stock in the home but more do of wd even if it is less effective still worth trying

[kingplym]

good point rich i think i spray with the wd and leave it over night i have really lost my sense of humour with this now :-/

thanx

WD40 is not a good penetrating fluid (in fact its shite!).....petrol mixed with oil is better....in fact most things are better!

If ts seized like you say then I doubt a penetrant will do much....WD40 will certainly do nothing

[sassanach]

do you have access to a mig welder?

[kingplym]

no access to mig welder? what would one do with such a thing? :-? :-? :-?

That and a pair of molegrips would be my first choice...
Good luck with it, that sort of thing is a pain...

Weld a piece of steel across what you have left sticking out. Heat helps to release the renants of the union & gives you something to get hold of with your grips/spanner etc.
