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
