I’m amazed. Taken a lot of Fords apart never seen one stuck that bad. I would have put money on threads being jacked. Was bolt bottomed out?
Congrats
nice ride

I just ordered one myself. Sounds like the ticket!!!

What I ended up doing to get it out was repetitious heat cycles (about 6 red hot) to the bolt head allowing heat to transfer. Cheater bar and about 3/4 throttle with my arm. Once I got past a half turn I was convinced I wasn’t just spinning off the bolt head. 😂.

Persistence, patients and OSO rocks!!!

Thanks everyone - Lots of good advice

Ive never owned one but thats my fav body style, should be faster with that cheby orange engine....

I bought one a couple weeks ago. Works great and and I don't have to drag an air line around.

Humm, don't see a speck of rust on the bolt. Did it fight you all the way or did it come out easy after broken loose?

see his signature about cross threading...........

This would have been a great thread in January (no pun intended)... 5 pages to get a bolt out

How does one cross thread a crank bolt, asking for a friend?

Congrats
