Locking pliers clamped on a body mount bushing on a rusty truck…

After a few days of soaking, I hammered the bolt tip to help loosen the threads, and then warmed them up with a propane torch just short of setting the oil & rubber on fire. These large-jaw Vise Grip 12L3 seem to be made for this job, and the handle rests perfectly against the frame. Again: this WILL work with the body & bumper in-place.
