I've got a small rust hole in one of my rockers that I didn't even notice until I was taking the trim off the doors, but no other body rust to speak of, but every fastener on it is rusted. I've broken 12 bolts on it.

2 words, Areo Kroil. Look it up and find some, the BEST penetrating oil out there, makes pb blaster look like salt water.

I use kroil at work, it's no better than blaster. Nothing is gonna make a bolt that has no threads left move. You should see come of the bolts I have pulled out of this thing.

Penetrating oil . Average load .. Price per fluid ounce
None ................. 516 pounds .
WD-40 .............. 238 pounds .. $0.25
PB Blaster ......... 214 pounds .. $0.35
Liquid Wrench ... 127 pounds .. $0.21
Kano Kroil ........ 106 pounds .. $0.75
ATF-Acetone mix.. 53 pounds .. $0.10
