The one wrench moment that stands out in my mind. Friend of mine has a Buick station wagon. Wanted to do front brakes. Well, the pins for the calipers are rotted on. I ended up slotting them with a dremel. Try a big screw driver. No joy. Finally angled the slot, and beat the screw end with a hammer and cold chisel. Still no joy. Put a torch behind the caliper, and heated the thread part, and it came loose.
Someday I want to take an impact socket, about the size of the bolt head. Grind it down into the shape of a one way screw, like you see in the bathrooms. I can then slot and angle the tip of the bolt, and the wrench tip will match up with that. Allow me to use impact wrench on the GM brake pin.
Anyone done this?
