RE: Removing bolts from head problem
well, i was able to get one out. my torch wasn't staying lit and it was way to darn hot out. i tried three and the first one came out fine, the second2 didn't wanna do anything and the pliers would fly off everytime i hit them with the mallet. oh well, it looked good on paper! now i'm heading back to ebay!

soak it good with deep creep, then heat it some while tapping it witha hammer or hammer and punch, the vibrations help break the rust bond with the hole threads. If you have enough bolt sticking out use a small pipe wrench, tapping the end of the bolt as you pull on it. This has worked for me many times.
