You may have already succeeded in busting that loose but if not you could try this method which i have used countless times on everything from 1/4" to 2 1/2" shaft coupling bolts. Heat the bolt or nut to cherry red and then apply pure parrafin [ the kind you use for canning, you can buy it any groce...

I used a new sheet-rock blade and actually popped some of the resin that I managed to drip on the deck off by gently working the tip of the blade under the resin. a single edge razor won't work because it is too flexible. What I could not remove by this method I carefully scraped and had satisfactor...
