Do you have room for a propane torch? I forgot (not in front of mine). If you can do that, I've broken loose some bolts (during my lift) I SWORE were going to break by mechanical force, with the torch. I did torch, liquid wrench (one it stopped glowing of course), so on..... Buy you would have to be careful since you are in the engine bay!

 

hopefully the torch will do the trick, i was thinking the same thing... im a plumber.. so we use the same technique if something is frozen.. guna get my hands on it this weekend

 

torch should do the trick. slap the antiseize on the threads when it goes back together and it will be much easier the next time u pull it apart.

start engine get it warm should back out

 

let it reach temp, took a torch to it and backed out like a charm... And it was the problem with the overheatin thank Jesus!! Thanks for the ideas guys!!
