How do I sort a seized bolt

[Steve320]

Doing an exhaust change in a glanza and exhaust paste has gotten all over a bolt in the flange . The bolt will not move as its been there a few years etc. wd40 and swearing has had no effect.
(Bolt in question connects catalytic converter to exhaust so cutting it out is out of the question )
Thanks

Did you try heating it with a blowtorch????

Weld to it and do it that way or pilot hole it and use an easy out or left hand drill bit

Also heat is a good idea too.

Made a few calls and a blow torch is on the way down hahah cheers lads

Let us know how it works out

I know the bolt in question. Just cut it of re drill the cat and fit a fresh nut and bolt or shave a bit off the stud until it's flush with the nut and try open it.
Improvise. Adapt and overcome

We overcame it before the blow torch arrived. Lump hammer and two smacks later we are sorted. Now need new bolts though haha

Brut force and ignorance only way.
