Default Rustly Bolts

I wanted to take my strut bar off the paint the ends and I got one side of bolts off and the other sides refuse to come off and I don't want to risk breaking them so I spayed them with WD-40 and they still didn't move. Is there another thing that I could do to then to get them to come off, someone in the i/h/e forum said they soaked a rusty bolt in Pb blaster? overnight, Would that work and if it would where do I get pb blaster?

that should come off with a 6 point socket and a long breaker bar. I wouldn't try cutting the nut off

if you have acces to a torch, a little heat on the bolt will help, but don't melt any wires.

Combine the last two suggestions and you'll be golden. Heat + Breaker Bar = smooth removal
