I have used this method in the past with success on seized bolts. the melted wax seems to "wick" into the threads similar to solder flux when soldering copper pipes.

+1 on 'its not the threads that seize' - been there done that. The carbon below the threads seizes the GP. The neck snaps off below the threaded body. Hence the strong advise to use Neverseize on the GP.
