What's the deal with the bottom alternator bolts on these trucks? I've used at least a quarter can of PB Blaster on it along with an 18 inch breaker bad and it still won't budge. Actually, it feels like I'm about to break the darn thing. Do any of you have a solution to this? I really don't want to break it or have to use a torch but I don't see any other option

does this have to be done now or can you take your time '
just heat, pb heat pb take your time
Well, its my truck and since I don't want to take it out on salty roads that will be around for the next 4 months, I have a little time. Just not a fan of using the torch. Ill give it a try tomorrow
try smacking the head of the bolt a few times with a hammer. Sometimes it will break the threads loose. Also try tightening it first and than try backing it out. A beer sometimes helps. ;o)
