Hey all: We've been working on a friends vehicle trying to remove the transmission fill bolt. It is seized and the head is now stripped from pipe wrenches, vise grips and the like. I believe the next option is to try to heat it up and see if it will loosen.

weld a bolt on top of the old one and loosen the bolt with a wrench. if you dont have access to a welder us the vise-grips ... If this doesn't work, the bolt is definately seized and I will need to get the bolt extractor at Sears ( I believe that I will have to ultimately go this route). Any tips on bolt extractions?

how to free a seized bolt??? help!!! Aerostar ... butane will not be hot enough to loosen the bolt. Use the MAPP gas.
