The bolt that runs through the poly-filled part (see picture below) won't budge. I've loaded it with Aerokroil to no avail. Do I need air tools for this? I have the car up on ramps, should it be on jackstands instead? Any help here would be appreciated... 2000 Mystique LS Duratec 2.5L MTX

I first tried using an 18-inch break bar with no success. About 45 seconds of my tiny butane torch and the came loose right away. However, I believe the final combination of Aerokroil + Heat + Break Bar also helped... Thanks for everyone's input! 2000 Mystique LS Duratec 2.5L MTX
