[DML] Re: Frozen suspension bolts

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heat is usually the best option but there are some drawbacks. You will
ruin any rubber nearby, there is the ever-present risk of fire, and
you CANNOT reuse any of the hardware if you are working on a
high-stress part or ANYTHING on the suspension. Only someone
experienced with an oxy-acetylene torch should attempt to use heat. In
all case you must get in and out fast with the torch and then get on
it quickly with a wrench. Preferably this is done before the use of
penetrating oil, it makes the job a lot more smokey and smelly and
NEVER near any fuel lines or other fuel system components. They have
to be removed first. Remember to use heat in a well ventilated area
(hard in the winter-time) and keep a fire extinghisher handy and
another person as a fire watch.
