    Hey Ron, yeah when my LCA bolt was a PITA, I used a combination of PB Blaster/propane heat! I did this:
    1) sprayed the shi- out of the nut/bolt with PB Blaster
    2) let it sit/soak for a while
    3) sprayed the shi- out of it again with the PB Blaster and let it sit a little longer... for this particular case, I let it sit over night!!!
    4) got the propane torch and heated it up
    5) tried to loosen it with the breaker bar
    6) let it cool a bit
    7) heated it up again, tried the breaker bar, and BAMMM!!! it loosened... YAY!!!

    That shi- was ridiculous tight bro, LOL!!! What I wanted to do was take out the bolt and use anti-seize on the "smooth" part of the bolt, but didn't have anti-seize on me and didn't have a way to get to the store?! Either way, I eventually plan on doing something similar in the future, so this is in the back of my mind when I have to deal with the LCA bolt again. Right now, I just "let the sleeping dogs lie" for the moment. :thumbsup:

    @ODNAREM Ron, your humble opinion, do you think a 20cu/ft Oxy bottle w/ a propane setup be enough oxygen volume for "very small jobs"? That is, nothing that is going to be "production runs"... LOL!!! Or put another way, it is for a small bracket that I plan on making? I know for propane setups you need a bit more oxygen to get that heat up, but this is for a fairly small bracket we are talking about (i.e. shock/shackle size). Going Acetylene would pretty much be a waste of money because it will sit for very long periods of time as I won't be doing many brazing jobs, just here and there. Propane is much cheaper and a bit more economical for my situation. Shi-, whatever propane I don't use for the brazing I could use it for the BBQ grill... LOL!!! OR, should I just go ahead and get, I believe it is the next COUPLE of sizes up, a 55cu/ft Oxy tank??? I def know that would be more than enough and, most likely, still a waste... LOL!!! All I need now really is an oxygen bottle to finish my brazing setup, but just can't decide on the size oxygen tank??? FU--, this is driving me nuts bro!!! LOL!!! I'm gonna go to that shop you suggested next week to go check it out. Anyways, thanks Ron for any input.

    BTW, this is NOT going to be used for any HEAVY structural integrity setups!!! I know better than that with the differences between welding and brazing, just to let you know. I was just using "shock/shackle" as a size example of what I plan on making.

    Finally, in my humble opinion, NOT everything needs to be a weld job. You just need to know what needs and doesn't need to be a weld type job. It can actually be more economical if you don't always weld!!! That is just my 2cents and humble opinion on the matter!!!

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Best mix for breaking bolts, hands down, auto tranny fluid + 100% acetone. 50/50 that. Blows away any other "stuck bolt" mix.
