Roy, there are many ways you can probably remove the bolt but here is the way I have done it and had much success. This will work easier if you have some bolt sticking up but is not 100% necessary if you can weld a nut to the bolt. What I do first is heat the bolt ONLY and get it red hot, letting it cool naturally. I then heat the casting AND the bolt and when both are hot I take an ice cube (be careful doing this due to the heat) and cool THE BOLT ONLY. More often than not you can remove the bolt very easily when everything cools off. It seems when you heat the bolt only first it will try to expand in the hole but can't which actually contracts it. When you reheat it and rapidly cool it it contracts even more. I've never had this fail. Hope this helps. Mike
