Do you have access to a drill with different tourqe levels? Like the thing you twist around the tip; usually ranging from 0-20 or someting of the sort? That'll crack it loose. just use an extension.

dood go to walmart or home depot what have you and by liquid wrench the **** penetrates metal unlike wd-40 which only lubricates


spay on the bolt all over wait 2 minutes and the bolt will come off like its a joke


Iam serious dont even waste your time with anything else

THIS IS YOUR SOLUTION
