How can they unscrew the fuse from a WW2 bomb that was rotting under the ground or in water for 80 years, when you may have to use brutal force, heat, etc to remove bolts from a 10-year-old car (and the bolt will snap anyway)?

I would expect that you wouldn’t be able to loosen anything on an old, rusty bomb, especially that it is so unstable and can go off anytime.

During the Vietnam War, we carried 750 pound bombs with chemical fuses. In theory, they would detonate within 24 hours after fused. They would detonate if the fuse was unscrewed.
