What torch tips do you have available to you? It is incredibly hard to try
to teach welding vs heating w/o melting via this forum. Isn't there someone
that you could ask to help?

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.
