Reply to comment by bill_gannon in How do I remove a stuck bolt holding my bike's kickstand in place? by S_Orbital

Really? Love the idea, but given the tight space i would have assumed that drilling out the nut and replacing it would be easier.

Am i ignorant of some cool welding technique?

They just put it the middle and zap it. You don't need crazy shear strength and the heat will likely loosen it.

Also reach in with something flat like an extension and smack it a few times with a hammer first. That has a way of breaking things free.
