If you can find some Kroil penetrating oil soak it overnight and pound that socket that you get, it should come out

 

Man i spent about 15 mins holding the heat to it. It wouldn't move at all the others came out super easy with heat put about 5 mins on each bolt and bam they came out with no problem.

 

Kroil penetrating oil never remove a bolt or nut without out. 1999 Ford Pickup had go replace the engine 18 months ago. Sprayed every bolt down 2 days before. Every bolt screwed out like it was a month old. Had one that was broken when I bought the old truck. Looked just like yours, welded a nut on it. Screwed it out with a boxed end wrench after welding the nut on it.
If you were close to me. I would bring the cracker box wire welder over. And weld a nut on for you. That $250. wire welder was the best $$ ever let go of. Priceless for odd jobs like that one.

 

Pete go to the hardware store and get to jam nuts .they are thin nuts ,they will lock together

 

If it hadn't started melting it wasn't enough heat.

 

What kind of torch are you using.If you are using oxygen and acetylene .heat that stud up cherry red then walk away for lunch and a soft drink, let it cool to cold. Put a pair of vice grips on it, work it back and forth. Heating it expands it in the threads and cooling contracts it and usually breaks it loose. Or have some one come over with a welder and weld a nut to it. Worse case is you end up drilling it out slowly and getting a helicoil kit. You just gotta be care and not drill too deep as some time there are water jackets sometimes. you can most likely tell the end off the stud tho. I have left handed bits to do this as sometimes they bite in and wind the broken stud out as your drilling slowly. Sorry for the long wind.

Pete, I'll chime in fwiw, stepback and relax. I recently had a problem bolt,, heat the BOLT/STUD to cherry red, then apply candle wax to the thread point.If you've lead a good life, the wax will wick in and the stud will unscrew. BOL.

 

Good time to add one to the garage

 

2nd vote on the kroil oil, by far the best, nothing else is even a close 2nd.

 

You might have enough thread left to double nut it..... but soak with some PB blaster, kroil oil, or do the candle wax trick.
