just about every bolt on my car (lugs, seats, et cetera) is unmovable

any tips on how to get them off

i also need tips on removing the seats in general

 

Spray a good rust dissolving lubricant, like liquid wrench, on the bolts, around the threads. Let the spray soak for several minutes, then take a small ball hammer, and tap on the head of the bolt. Repeat two or three times, then, try to first tighten the bolts, not loosen.

The bolt will move ever so slightly, stop, repeat the first step, then loosen them up. If when you loosen them, they get tight again, re-tighten them, while spraying, and start again. Sometimes it takes a while, but it will work.

PEACE THE DOG

 

yes make sure you dont try to over loosen it. just because your loosening it and it becomes tight it doesnt meen you torque the **** out of it. ive done that and had to stop my entire exhaust set up to buy a damn stud coz i stripped it.

 

well the bolts on my exhaust connecting the cats and exhaust are going to have to be sawed off when i change cats b/c the gasket like deterierated and the bolts got so hot the threads melted together. we used a pipe to make new threads to hold it on and well, yeah im going to use a power tool to just saw the damn things off after this summer. lol. its ghetto, but yeah it works for now. im not planning on doing that shitty again. im embarased.

 

Over the past few years I started using PB Blaster. It works far better then anything else I have tried. Spray the fastener down, then let it sit for about 10 minutes. Spray again and then hit the fastener with a hammer to start to shock loose any rust and interference. Often it's helpful to tighten slightly and then try to loosen. Impact tools help a lot, and make sure that any exposed threads are clean before you try to move a nut over them.
