Re: Corroded Bolts in Aluminum
Lots of heat suggestions here but I had a saying that worked for me for many years. Heat 'em and beat 'em. If you can get to the area surrounding the bolt threads where it's frozen beat on it. Use a hammer, or a hammer with a punch, whatever it takes to rap it. The idea is to break up the corrosion and the hold it has on the bolt shank and threads. I've found that the beating it method sometimes works when the heating it method fails, and a combination of the two approaches may work the best.
