Why wouldn't you use a hex-head cut-off-bolt-head-thingy? Lot's more power with a true box wrench then some little allen wrench...

The welding process loosens up the screw, especially when there is penetrating oil used. You wont need torque. I use this technique on Ford header plates all the time.



you flash heat the screw to near melting point and then cool it down, the lattice shifts and the screw FLIES right out

if the thing has been soaked in pb-blaster / penetrating lube... and you apply the propane torch to it. BECAREFUL! think twice! Hose off the PB-plaster first. or use non flammable liquid wrench.



Don't ask me how I know htis

if you have an air compressor and an impact wrench get a screwdriver and find an impact socket that fits snuggly over the handle.



put screwdriver into socket, put socket on impact gun and all you do is push as hard as possible into the screw then pull the trigger a bit to try to loosen it.



did this to frestyle's rotors and it worked wonders.

Drilling the head off will be the easiest way. The threaded part comes right out after you drill the head off. That was after I broke a bit using an impact driver like that. It twisted the bit 90 degrees before it finally broke.
