Take a torch and blow the bolt out of the cast iron housing, it works, neighbor does it all the time with good luck, expecially on head bolts.

Blow it out with a cutting torch. The slag can be turned out with a screwdriver. Don't overheat or you'll damage threads in the housing.

Once in a while in that situation, I get lucky using PB Blaster and lightly tapping the bolt. Then work it out with a good center punch far nuff to get a hold of it.

What I try first is good penetrating oil, then hold the right size nut over the bolt and weld in the center (wire feed works best). Some times I weld on 4 or 5 before I give up.

Id do the same but (knock on wood) Ive never had top give up. I think the most nuts Ive had to weld before breaking it loose is about 8. Probably used this method 2 dozen times.

What I've done is weld a flat washer on first, then weld a nut to the washer. That's worked good for me.

weld is best but you will have more success if you will weld a cone shaped ant hill to the bolt first. The additional heat this creates will break loose rust and give more penetation for the weld to hold to the nut. Most guys dont get enough heat on the bolt and tear a chunk out with the nut. After you make the ant hill slide the nut over like a wedding ring and weld. Let cool but not cold.
