i managed to unbolt one of the bolts on the driveshaft, but there are still 3 bolts left. i tried really hard to get them off, but they're like stuck and rusted. i also tried wd40, but my friend said i shouldn't use wd40 on it.

what should i use to get the rest of the bolts off? i really need to get my car back on the road again. thanks!

 

A penetrating oil, PB blaster is easy to get.

 

Seafoam Deep Creep.

 

+1 for sure.
I just found this stuff and it is amazing.It doesn't run off the part like other stuff does,as it foams a bit and sticks.

 

lol nice post...

at the shop we use Fluid Film, ive never heard of it before, im used to PB but Fluid Film>PB we use it on everything. just let it soak and go to town.

 

WD40 is for drying wet parts, not for dislodging rusted parts.

no idea why people keep getting that confused.

 

thanks guys. i'm gonna go pepboys at lunch and pick up a can of pb blast. i'll look at other alternatives while i'm there just because. wd40 was the only thing i had and thought it would do the trick, but now i know it's not for rusted parts

i just hope this really gets these bolts off so i can install my driveshaft already!

 

People also seem to think it's a lubricant, which it's not.

 

so i replaced the driveshaft today and what a giant difference!!!!! the car is so smooth now, i'm so in love with the fc! i also didn't even need pb blaster. i just needed more room under the car to push the wrench with pressure.

thanks all!!!

 

^ a good way to snap heads off of bolts. but i see youre in cali, so im assuming it isnt rusty

 

Glad to hear you fixed it, now you can feel how out of balance ur tires are.

 

Never heard of this, but willing to try if its better then PB Blaster. Available at any ol parts store?
