Should be simple enough but thought I'd check the brain trust. This is from a parts car and it came like this (see pics below). I soaked it with penetrating oil and gave it a couple wraps with a hammer and punch but it didn't budge. I had previously purchased another engine bar on which someone had drilled out a seized bolt and they rounded out the hole significantly. So I'm thinking a hot wrench followed by hammer and punch, but wonder if heating the bar that much could weaken it??
