Re: Best lubrication - seized manifold bolts
If exhaust manifolds to head bolts, depending on what engine sometimes it's better to torch the heads off and slip the manifolds off over the bolt..
With the manifold off you can access the head with heat and using grips or good quality battery pliers on the protruding stud and heat where they thread into the head they can easily turn out and a whole lot better than playing stud extraction games w/ broken bolts..
If flange bolts, heat your nuts!.
Anyone here ever try the candle wax trick?.
Good luck!.
