Super stuck bolt!

[zxFarside]

Working on the drive shaft there is a support bar of some sort, 17mm bolt.This mother f***** is super stuck. I must have been working on it for 3 hours with no give, gave it maybe half a can of PB Blaster. I'm just letting it soak atm but is there any trick to get bolts unstuck. I tried a breaker bar and it broke my 17mm socket lol.

Any hits would be awesome!

Can you get any heat on the nut ? Either a blow torch or cutting/ welding torch ? Look out for fuel lines etc.

I was looking for my torch but I gave up because its snowing really hard now. I'll get to it in the morning. I wish I could just cut it off lol

If its a bolt, then cut the head off, drill the bolt through and mangle the f***er out, ive had to do it a few times on the z and the wrx. if its a nut on a stud then cut into the side parallel to the stud, be careful not to cut into the thread, once there is very little metal until you hit the thread, stick a chisel in there and hammer the f***er off.

take it to a shop wiht a decent impact, I assume you are addressing the carrier bearings bolts, and if you are converting to 1 piece you can simply cut the bearing out

Yeah don't piss arund with it here is the result of my last super stuck bolt. Impact guns do not always work.

I got it off with a propane torch, 17mm box-end wrench and a mini sledge.

yours was a plug, his si a bolt, if he smaps the head off ten the carrier bearing can be removed

Nice touch, patience is a virtue.

when you say a propane torch...you talking about one of those attachments that goes onto the little propane cylinders....i just wanted to know for future reference if that would be hot enough
