A mechanic buddy of mine once showed me a trick to loosen bolts that are stuck:

Heat the bolt with a blowtorch or lighter until it's hot enough to melt candle wax. Then press a candle against it. The candle wax will melt, and the capilary force will pull the wax between the threads, acting as a lubricant.

Works like a charm.
