All it took is about 5000F of pure oxy-acetylene goodness.. aka I heated it up, well, the casting anyway..
I think I am becoming an expert at reading the temp of a part by how much the paint starts to smoke

Yeah, the TM says use a special claw bar and hit the casting... good luck with that on a truck that's been sitting for 10+ years.
Heat it, hit the bolt with a hammer and out she pops. Life is good.
Pics tomorrow..
