How did you get yours loose? I've read that some people heated up the bolt so it expands for it to become loose.

No heat - Just leverage. It's amazing how adding some length to your socket works. I tried breaking them loose with just a 10" long ratchet and couldn't, so I grabbed my 2' breaker bar and put that on the socket and it came loose with little effort. A piece of pipe over the handle of the ratchet works equally well.
