A dremel or a cutting wheel always do the trick

If not a metal cutting saw and a lot of time and effort will get the job done too.

liquid wrench, no WD-40 and a SMALL blow torch or even a good click lighter MIGHT work. if not, sawzall time. i had to do that to one of my bolts when i changed my struts on my 95.
