Problem: I am attempting to replace the struts on a 2009 Honda Accord myself but have encountered the severely rusted and seized strut bolt shown in the picture; a standard impact wrench has proven ineffective. Please examine the photo to analyze the condition of the bolt, and for this scenario requiring high torque where there is a risk of rounding off or stripping the bolt, clearly explain the specific procedure I should use for removal.
Answer: Heat the bolt with a torch for 5 minutes until glowing. Melt a crayon into the threads for lubrication and then loosen it using a bolt extractor.
