Get it hot then cool it down immediately, this will loosen it, the expansion from heat and cooling loosens it. Only use the ratchet once it's cooled. Other wise it will damage threads..

I have done the same, but sometimes you have to break the chemical bond i.e. rust and corrosion. That's where heat or sometimes WD-40 or PB Blaster and the likes come into play. Thanks for the helpful comment. -Will

if you just try to brute force it with a long handle extension, etc. likely end up just twisting the stud in two.

Cheap mechanic's cutting gas for a cutting and heating torch is Propane and Oxygen Propane and is much cheaper and easier to find than Acetylene. Make sure you get a propane tip for tour Cutting torch for a better use of the Propane if you like the idea.

What if you don't have heat. I have sprayed wd40 on the nuts of mine. I'm trying to free up the 2 screws connecting the bottom part of my catalytic converter. They won't budge. I sent for an impact wrench. Will that help. I have a 2014 chevy impala lt

It just might work. Try loosening and if that doesn’t work, as weird as it sounds try tightening them with the impact and then loosening them again. I have another video called removing seized rusted screws. you should check it out. He is best if you can find it when it comes to anything exhaust. Have you ever tried a product called PB blaster? Good luck! -Will

You keep saying we got the bolts out but you didn't. you remove the nuts from the pressed in studs and you didn't ever mention how you fixed the stud that you broke off with the impact. Also those are not the right fasteners. There should be a bolt stud with a smooth collar and a nut with a spring on the bolt. I have the same vehicle and I'm dealing with a broken stud that's impossible to get out. Because they're pressed in on the one side of the exhaust they have no head and so they can't just be screwed out and as you mentioned and notice there's not enough between your room for a hammer

You are correct. We stand corrected. We removed the nuts from the pressed in studs. You are also correct in that we did not cover how we fixed the stud we broke off with the impact. We were fortunate on that one side we were able to cut the head of with the grinder and we replaced it with a grade 8 nut and bolt. We do mention that we did not want to replace the other side as its design was making it difficult to do so. So we just chased it with a threading die. Good luck! -Will

meanwhile you're blowing fire right at the floor pan melting the carpet in the truck next time use your torch in a different manner where you're blowing fire directly on the top of the bolt that way you minimize collateral damage with all of that flame which was way too big to begin with

Damn... this is such a bad technique. First use a proper breaker bar and a six point non-deep 1/2" drive socket. Then add some heat and spray with penetrating lube. Wait a few hours and then try the bolt. If it still doesn't go reheat then add penetrating lube and try immediately after while it is still hot. If still won't go put on a cheater bar (risk snapping the stud at this point) and hope it goes. This guy looks like he is about to seriously bust a knuckle and that socket was about to snap in the first part of the video.
