The ground wire that connects to the block on the drivers side of my motor is rusted to the bolt. I can loosen and begin to turn the bolt but the wire turns with it.I tried hammering it off with a screwdriver but its really hard to get at.

I dont want to crank it and have the wire pull out of the wiring harness. That would suck. If Ijust cut the wire near the bolt then spliced and soldered it back together when Im ready to reinstall would that work ok?

I really dont want to start hacking wires, but I dont know how else to get this off.

Have you tried holding the wire with a pair of pliers. that sometimes helps me.

I tried but I can't get them in there with a wrench at the same time. Its really tight, I'd need some really long needle nose pliers.

i don't see any problem with doing that

Its more than likely going to cuase a hot spot in the wire becuase of the resistance of the solder...
