Default Tip: How to Remove a Stuck Bolt
Using a large "C" clamp and an appropriately sized socket, this technique has saved the day for me on more than one occasion.



If the bolt is really stuck and if the "C' clamp and space permits, try using a pin punch and ball peen hammer on the threaded end of the clamp too!
