Tried boiling a frozen bottom bracket cup to get it out...
Figured it couldn't hurt after 45 minutes with a torch and a punch did nothing on this old Schwinn, and the heat from the water actually loosened the frame enough to let it drop right out, anyone else tried weird heat tricks on seized parts?

Boiling water trick is wild but it makes sense (expansion is the real enemy there). Torch just made mine tighter one time, lesson learned. Heat and patience beats brute force on old steel frames every time.
