This is probably old hat to most, but it is working like a miracle for me. An old mechanic showed me how to get rusty bolts off every time without breaking them. I've known for years that if you've got acetylene, you can heat a manifold (or any other rusty) bolt until it either comes off or melts.
This is much simpler: Everyone has a little propane (I've even used a couple of matches or lighter) --heat the old rusty up just enough to see a little smoke and stick a piece of beeswax or candle to it--it will suck the melted wax like it was a sponge...then while she's still warm ease the bolt off!
