While trying to avoid the incoming storm I'm going to throw my own few tips out there.

I have had good luck with actually bathing the BB are in something like diesel or kero. Penetrating fluid works wonders if its immersed in the liquid.
Get a blowtorch at it. It is the only thing that will ever remove red loctite. Its only broke down by heat.
Leverage. And lots and lots of it. I've a 5ft pipe that goes over my spanner that I use for BBs. I've yet to be defeated by one.

And the var tool looks awesome. I want one.
