shock - hit the threaded fastener with hammer and drift.

that is the secret to releasing steel and aluminium or alum.-alum. threads from each other.

be careful, it takes a bit of experience to know how hard to hit the stuck bolt.

heat works better on steel to steel, and is a second choice when working with non ferris materials.

Just get a breaker bar, make sure you are going in the right direction. Use the breaker bar for more leverage, If you try knocking it you might knock your eye out, thats if you dont have experience like maself
