PB Blaster. Its oil in a spray can that penetrates into stuck parts to help loosen them. Other brand names of penetrating oil are: Kroil, Liquid Wrench.

Ok... so i've come to the conclusion that the bolts are not coming off with my strength lol... so i decided to take it to a local mechanic to loosen them up... now is it safe to drive my FD with the diff bushes lose? Without bolts for about 6 minutes in total all city driving? I'll be driving veryyyyyyyu slow... thanks.

So the bushings are in! Diff mount is back in with all 4 bolts... now... with the bolts that go through the bushings, am I able to put it through from either direction or can I only do it through one way? Because one way doesn't seem to go through, and the other way is far to close to the diff in order for me to tighten it... thanks,
