Kroil works pretty good, the trick is to soak it, then let it set for about 15 to 20 minutes. The stuff has to penetrate down far enough to loosen the rust. The other option is a torch....

We gave up and I'm going to take it to a shop on Thursday... Spent at least 15 hours trying to break it off... Just another victim to the demon bolt. T_T

I got really lucky with that bolt. Sprayed with liquid wrench, let it sit 3 days, and they came off easily. The stock cat-back was a bigger PITA

Went got my new tires mounted yesterday. Then today I installed rear camber arms and found a screw already in my tire. Lucky it was a larger one. Then got an alignment.
