Bad idea. If the bolt is not stripped you will strip it by using vice grips

Not if you aren't a pussy.:icon_thumright:

I am JK btw, use the vice grips as a last resort...

I have found that just heating the bolt works 95% of the time

even if I had one, I dont think I would use it.

just giving you some crap.......would a heat gun work?

[91nbtsi]

Um, you heat the bolt with a torch...

[jct_4628]

I have a soldering iron, could I just set it on the bolt and let it warm up?

Also, do you think an impact driver might work?

No, soldering iron probably won't work. Use an impact with a 6 pt socket.

ALWAYS use a 6pt socket for tight bolts...

No. A soldering iron is for wires, not bolts.

Just go to the store and buy a propane torch. They are pretty cheap. Heating the bolt up along with a large breaker bar will remove it pretty easily.
