I’m having a tough time removing a DX fender screw and found this recent (05/18) article. Very comprehensive guide moving from most conservative to most aggressive methods.
Hope it helps!

That is a cool tool! At $400 a throw maybe we need a CABE tool rental app...get that baby flying around the country on short term rental.

NOT QUITE SURE WHY HEATING THE BOLT?
I WOULD THINK THAT THE BOLT IT SELF WOULD EXPAND
AND MAKE IT TIGHTER!
BUT MAYBE THESE BOLTS HAD SOME OIL ON THEM
SINCE THIS IS AN ENGINE?

It breaks the bond of the rust...

an old time engine builder told me to give the bolt a good rap with a ballpeen hammer ,worked for me removing frozen exhaust bolts, a little heat and some PB blaster prier would help also

Can't wait for the Harbor Freight edition!

They will probably list in in three different locations in the send out advertisments for three different prices. Or maybe in SAE or Metric sizes.
