Default Tips to Loosen Electric Motor Bolts?

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

Ken


You do not say size of bolts, but an old big? soldering iron laid
against the bolt for whatever time ,may be more manageable source of
heat to disrupt threadlock
