Darryn,

See, I told you heating the bolt would work. Somehow it breaks the solid state diffusion between the bolt threads and the threads its screwed into.

I know it seems logical that the bolt would expand and get tighter but thru experience I learned that heating works to free stuck bolts. It works even better on stuck nuts where they do expand.
