- For rusted/seized bolts and the like, I use Kroil by Kano Labs. The
- other thing you might try is adding a little heat. Since the
- coefficient of thermal expansion for aluminum is roughly twice that
- of steel, the hole should get larger faster than the stud. And/or,
- you might try grinding some flats on the stud (if they aren't there
- already) so you can get a wrench on it (I assume you haven't been
- able to get a wrench on it yet.)
-
- Ultimately, PERSEVERANCE will prevail.

- Good luck-
