Exactly. A cutting torch would work best in that situation. MAPP gas is not going to do it. You need oxygen.

The Mustang You traded your engine-falling out civic for?
Must be shitty to downgrade(assuming its a v6)
Torch with o2 will burn a hole right through you (you as in the lugnut)

maybe simultaneously cooling it down and heating it up long enough will help weaken the metal so you can just break it with a hammer? idk :p
