Yea..... It doesn't want to come off today. I add a few more spray on it and lets see how it works tomorrow.

Also, this is a huge tip that made a world of difference for me: try and tighten the bolts even more at first to break the bond. THEN go to loosen them and they will come off much much easier, even easier than the penetrant and heat.

They either get removed by cutting them or using an rounded bolt extractor kit. Cutting is cheaper, and is what most do. |
I was thinking about just cutting the nut off. But there no way of getting the dremel in there. From the bottom of the car, you can't see the nut. The only way to cut is to strap the dremel on a stick and lower it in there.
