That yellow-bottled Benzomatic Butane thing from Home Depot is exactly what we got a few weeks back. We were trying to break my friend's coilover bolts loose, but his other idiot friend had torqued them to 6 trillion ft-lb with an impact, so even the torch did nothing.
And yes, I plan on jacking the car up the night before, removing the heat shields, and soaking everything in PB blaster. Also, anyone think it's worth running the car briefly day-of, just to warm up the exhaust a bit (not burning hot obviously) or will that just expand the studs too and not really be worth the effort?
