Boy oh boy! I have a real stuck one this time and it's too big for me to twist off as usual!! Am trying to put new brake bands on an AC-CA and the angle iron that holds the plaform has probably a 5/8" bolt holding it down onto the rear end housing. I've use an impact wrench, skinned by self up with box ends and hammers..... ..... .. no deal. Have soaked it in penetrating oil but it's not getting to the threads. Am afraid of heat on the casting. Could drill it out but there must be a better way. Also have a lug bolt holding the wheel to the cast hub that is in half out, not to go either way. But that one is hard steel.

Any ideas?

If the bolt is large enough that it probably won't shear off, then get a piece of pipe large enough to fit over the wrench/ratchet handle that's at least two feet long. I have yet to see something that can't be taken off with enough leverage...

"Give me a lever long enough and I'll....."

If all else fails, weld a good sized nut to either problem bolt and then spray with a good amount of your favorite rust breaker, then while still hot from the welder, hit it with the impact. The amount of heat the welder puts into the bolt is not to be believed! The heat will pull the oil into the gap, and the impact should jar it loose.
Good luck !

Just a little more help after you have added heat, rap the head of the bolt sharply with a hammer before putting a socket on it. I had the same problem two weeks ago and used my 3/4 breaker bar and a two foot pipe and no heat. I thought that it would break off but it squeeked out. I normally use heat.

Don,
Get some Kroil. Best penetrating oil available.
Go to link below.
Then after soaking for a while, apply heat with a welding torch and a rosebud tip. It'll surrender.

I bought a 3/4" drive socket set new about 10 years ago for $40.00. It's "made in Taiwan or China" but the quality is "half way decent". You still need heat or penetrating oil many times, but the extra leverage saves a lot of bull work. Possibly the best $40 I ever spent.
