Help with Stubborn Bolts

[Steven Lischer]

Looking for help. I have linkage bolts giving me troubles. I have soaked them in PB Blaster, used the air tool and breaker bar in attmepts to get them off nicely. I just tried using my nut cracker and the nut cracker guide screw broke instead. What is my next move? torch?

Just in case, stop and check: Are they left-handed?

Why are they stuck, are they corroded that bad? If so, might try medium tapping with a ball peen for a bit, but be real careful to not damage anything. Sometimes PB and that will free the nasties.

Might try a heat gun before the torch.
