Rusty Bolts! Can't get em off
Well, I don't have a torcher here, a friend does but he isn't home atm and I just can't wait to throw this bull bar on the blazer. I tried spraying it with WD-40, hitting it with a hammer, using a wall behind me to help me get leverage while yanking on the bolts with the wrench, and still nothing. Any simple ideas, or should I just wait.

Wait for the torch, be patient young Jedi. Or you may f things up

Get some PB Blaster, wd 40 doesn't really do much for rusted bolts. Spray the blaster, let it soak and get a bigger hammer lol.

I've had success with wd-40 and some elbow grease getting rusty bolts off. I know wd is a lubricating oil and pb blaster is a penetrating oil though. I wonder how much easier those bolts would of been with pb blaster lol.

I won't do a job without pb blaster lol. That stuff really does work well, the time, frustration, and busted knuckles saved is priceless lol.

Is it weird I've never used the stuff before? lol. I might pick up a can and try it out soon. Especially the last junkyard trip. Trying to get parts off those cars that sit out there in the elements. Gotta have something to help ya haha.

You could make the Bolts bolts hot and the spray some ice spray on them. The fast temperature difference could loosen them. But be careful, the WD-40 could burn.
