Recently was unable to loosen the bolts of an electric fan motor that
needs rebuilding.

Have never had this problem before so my first thought is the bolts have
a high strength thread locker.

Did a forum search to check if anyone else had mentioned this problem
but found nothing.

Am interested in all suggestions to loosen these bolts.

Thanks

Had a similar problem with part of a sewing machine that had got gummed
up. Only thing that helped was to put it in front of a fan heater until
the whole machine was almost too hot to handle!
