PB Blaster is pretty easy to obtain and works well. Adding heat is good. Have faith & go slow patience is the key here. Work the nut or bolt in both directions slowly and it will come out. It may take hours / days ta get er done.
Depending on the location it may make sense to cut em off an go. Thats something you will have to decide.

Ken Styer (kstyer) pointed me at his favorite solvent. It's a GM product that the "old guys" call "Heat Riser Lubricant". It works great! [/QUOTE]
Is it sometimes called "heat valve lubricant"? #1052627

Except for my local Chevy dealer...from whom I've tried--twice--to obtain
this GM product.
Know what the parts department manager told me? "We won't order it
because we'd have to order a case of it--and the other eleven containers
would just sit on a shelf and nobody would buy it."
How's that for excellent customer service?
