Saw a guy using a heat gun to free a seized caliper bolt. Thought it was a hack job.

Tried it myself on a rusty 2005 Civic last Tuesday. Worked in under two minutes, saved me from snapping the bolt. Anyone have a different trick for that specific job?

My 2010 F-150 needs a torch, a heat gun just won't cut it.

My go-to method was just hitting it until my arm got tired, so you're already smarter than me.

Just hit it with some penetrating oil first, then the heat gun works even better.
