thanks

Heat is your friend. Got an oxy-acetylene torch? Heat the bolts and they'll loosen up. If you don't have an OA torch, use a MAP gas or propane torch like what you would use for sweating copper tube.

I never found WD40 any good for rusty bolts. PB Blaster seems to wrok better. Heat is step two, no doubt. My MAPP gas setup (home depot) woorks great.

PB Blaster... let it soak for a while. Works silly well.

I third the good ol' PB blaster, haven't had it fail yet!

if the blaster doesnt work, get some wax and heat the bolt till its cherry red. wait till it just starts to loose its redish colorand apply some wax to the bolt. the wax will work its self down the threads. let it cool and it should come right out.
