This is a trick I learned from PM.I have used it and it has always worked.
If you have a rusted/stuck bolt/nut/screw in a metal part etc.,heat it with a torch and apply wax to where any threads may be.
It will work when a nut and bolts threads are flush to each other. The wax will flow into the threads and loosen the stuck item.
As I said,I have yet to have this trick fail.
