Deep Creep is also an excellent product for applications like this...just FYI

Finally got it. A bit of heat, a bit of working it back and forth with a breaker bar, and a whole lot of swearing! Thanks for all of the tips.

Ya the swearing really does help ... other wise you end up with a car that looks to be bread with a golfball.. (bought my car new quarters and 1 looks all pinged)

PB BLASTER ROCKS!

Hell yeah! here at work we call it "panther piss" lol But heat also definitely helps! I had the same issue but nowhere as bad as some of you guy's. I just used PB and used a long handled ratchet and slowly backed it out! I got some new bolts from NAPA and with antiseize i reinstalled them.

2 years later and this thread will come in handy. Been fighting with one for about an hour. I put some heat but got worried since I didn't have an extinguisher. I'll try again tomorrow.
