W56 guy

You try WD40?

Y12 guy

Used the whole can.

W56 guy

Hit it with a torch?

Y12 guy

Had it glowing red. I could smell that "burnt wiring" smell, darn thing was still stuck solid.

W56 guy

Vise grips?

Y12 guy

Oh yeah. Ended up really messing the bolts. Might have to tap 'em out.

W56 guy

Say, you do remember you turn those clockwise to loosen 'em, right?

Y12 guy

Clockwise?
