[AT] List quiet!! Everyone OK, or just waterlogged??? --> Lug bolts, JD A

[STEVE ALLEN]

OK, per Dean's advice, I have gotten my hands on an acetylene torch, but I don't have any experience with one to speak of.

I would appreciate any hints anyone can offer about technique for getting the bolts out.  I have watched a couple YouTube videos, but they are focused on cutting, and cutting is what I *don't* want to do ;-)

Thanks for any pointers you might offer!

The only real reliable solution is to use an acetylene torch(gas axe). That is the only way to get enough heat to handle on the mass of the cast iron. An alternative would be to slide the whole wheel assembly off the axle and take the whole assembly somewhere where there is adequate heat and air pressure.
