Rusted Bolts

Posted by John Pierce on Tuesday, September 11, 2007 at 21:23:04 :

I'm taking the bed off my M37 and the bolts are pretty well rusted on. I'm using liquid wrench to unfreeze the rust at bit. I've read that heat also works well so I checked out the local Lowes which has propane and MAPP torches. Should I go with the hotter MAPP or is this overkill? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
