===Heat the nut method=== Heat the '''nut''' with a torch until red hot, cool the bolt with a good shot of spray-on rust remover then remove the nut while still hot. Heating the nut thermally expands it, while the rust remover (which is a refrigerant) thermally contracts the bolt. Be careful and use gloves as the nut and your wrench will be hot.
