hey, i learned somethin from my grandpa that might help a lot of people. if you have any bolts stuck, and nothin seemes to get them out, heat the area around up with the torch, and then put a dab of parifin wax around the bolt. the parrifin wicks around the threads instead of running off, and bolts come right out. you can buy it in packs at kroger or walmart for cheap, and it will last you forever. im 17, and ive been using this trick for 7 years or so, and its never failed me, so try it. it also works with freeze plugs, stuck distributers, some pistons, and any other pain in the rear, been workin for an hour to get them out, you get the picture... hope this helps. Adam

Sounds like a good idea, but I use a product called PB Blaster. It has always worked for me and is much better than WD 40, but if for some reason it doesn't work sometime, I will try the wax.

Adam:
That is an ol' foundry trick only they used bees wax it withstands a little more temp. works great for getting stuck exhaust manifold bolts out, if they move ever so little,they will be lubed by bees wax and will turn out. The wax is excellent lube at high temp. it will burn tho just like a candle so be carefull! George.

Shooters who cast their own bullets out of lead use a lubricant on the bullets, called ALOX, which is about half beeswax. Manufacturers claim that it will withstand temperatures above the melting point of lead.
