Liquid Wrench, WD40, etc. There are a ton of them. I use either PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench. I have WD40 in the garage as well, but I use that to clean up my tools and bench.

IMO the PB Blaster seems to work the best. Any chance of getting some vibration on it? That might help get things to loosen up.

I have always used freeze off and worked fine for all my rusted body mounts for my body lift. I thought it was a good test since this was a North Carolina rig.

Always make sure you're using 6 point sockets also, thats all the difference in the world. If i remember correctly i had an 18m on my caliper that i cracked the socket on when try to do my ball joints. I had to buy a 3/4 socket. It stuck out further and wouldn't fit on the nut so i had to grind a little bit of the obstructing peice down. Once the 3/4 and breaker were on there it was like butter. Hope this helps.

Another product that works very well is KROIL.

i dont remember what they called it, it was like jiggy goo or something - in an orange aresol can. i used it in the tire shop i worked in for battery bolts and tire lugs, ect. It always seemed to get what WD40 and PB blaster couldnt. But in the end - sometimes its just not enought anyhow. - I have had my moments with a torch.
