[s-cars] Stuck Lug Bolts

[mike]

Can't think of anyway to get enough heat into the bolt
to do any good without damageing the clear coat

think I'd be tempted to put a drill bit down the
centre. I'd guess thet once you get to a 10mm hole
either the bolt will "relax" and come out or there
will be so little metal left that you will be able to
shear the head off. Either way the wheel comes of then
you can sort the rest.

good luck
