Default remove rusted screws and nuts & bolts

I am trying to remove an old gate from a wooden post. The holder screws
have rusted, as have the nuts and bolts holding the gate. What is the
best thing to do: should I try to cut through the metal, or force the
gate off the post with a crow bar? or some other solution.


solving oil (ATF, WD40) and a propane torch. heat the metal hot as you
can, yank on bolts. repeat.

PS don't burn down the gate
