Heating the bolt just expands it, making it tighter in the hole. Heating the 'nut' area loosens the bolt, and you can unscrew it a couple turns before things shrink back- you'll hear the squeaking getting higher as the bolt tightens, then re-heat. But you did good, Grasshopper. Next lesson, "Be the Headbolt"
