if you heat the allen bolts, they will become harder to turn out...heat expands metal. and do not strip the allen head. you might want to use a small pipe to get some extra leverage out of the crappy allen wrench. good luck.

Heat the area around the bolt, not the bolt itself. Don't let it cool either, try to crack it loose right after you heat the sorrounding area up, good luck.
