Default rusted bolts-PB blaster !!!

I got my exhaust pipes loose thanks to the advice of the forum. pb blaster did a great job. Thirty three years of rust and they came right off , not even one curse word. Thanks for the advice.

Another great one is Kroil Oil. I used 1/2 of a can of PB Blaster on the lower control arm bolts last year - nothing.

Put Kroil on the bolts, couple of hours later, success - two control arms off the car and on my work bench.

Goof Off is for things like decals and stickers. Your preaching to the choir when it comes to the virtues of PB Blaster. I've read good things about Kroil also but it's not as readily available as PB.
