[Shop-talk] more info on sheared bolt

Traci, if you don't have an ox/acty torch you can use a hand propane torch.
It is just that the welding torch does an excellent job of concentrating the
heat. Also, once you get that first punch mark centered, you can punch it
again. The combination of penetrant, heat and vibration will loosen up the
rust and corrosion. Don't give up just take your time.

Hi again!
I don't weld, and this isn't a good time for me
to learn, so welding of any sort is out...if I'm
going to fix it myself. And this isn't a bolt
that takes a lot of stress or torque. The frame
member the bolt goes into not only appears to be
steel but, given that the rest of the frame it, it probably is.
