I always hate it when I can't get one off. Usually a bit of lube and a little extra effort makes the difference...:p

I don't know how fucking many bolts I've snapped over the years...usually one that's dammed difficult to drill out and replace too...

Some of the "modern" penetrating oils like PB Blaster are miracles-in-a-can.

(of course, I've broken countless sockets, wrenches and ratchets using "cheater-pipes" too...Maybe 5-6 1/2" ratchets, and 2 3/4 inch ratchets.)
