By heating the nut (and avoiding the bolt as much as possible) the metal expands, this increases the size of the hole in the middle, releasing pressure against the bolt and allowing you to turn the nut while hot. Wear heat proof gloves, eye protection and have extinguishing equipment and cold water to hand. The level of heat required is often described as "cherry red" and can cause some types of metal to permanently change their hardness... be very careful if you are working on safety critical things like brakes, replace all affected parts.

What is the best way to loosen a seized bolt that removes an idler pulley from a 1998 Mercury Sable?
Try spraying the bolt with a spray called "liquid wrench" I've used it several times and it works. You may have to spray it several times and let it soak in before the bolt will turn. And...have you tried using a breaker bar, or a cheater bar? There is a risk of breaking the bolt, but it also may just loosen the stubborn bolt.

How do you replace a belt tensioner pulley on a 1996 olds lss?
It has a bolt at the center of it' BE AWARE that this bolt is reversed threaded, that means the direction normally used (right, is counter clockwise) to loosen , and left is "clockwise"to tighten, therefor when removing the bolt you go in the direction of tightening to remove it, the reason for this application is that the bolt is used to releive the tension on the serpentene belt to take it off for replacement.

How do you loosen the belt on 92 Jeep Cherokee?
Use a prybar to release the belt tensioner. This will allow you to slip it off. To install, you may need to remove a bolt from the alternator. That is one way to do it but not on my 1992 Cherokee Limited 4.0 HO. The power steering pump was actually the the tensioner pulley. You have to loosen the base then loosen the adjusting bolt under the pump. Prybar and removing bolt from alternator would not work. In a 94 GCL I used a 10mm(?) socket on the tensioner pully and pulled right. Slack was immediate. No need for removing anything except the belt.
