Re: rusted on bumper bolts - need to get loose

You can also get a nut buster and just replace it with a new one. It is a round thing that fits over the nut, with a bolt coming out the side that makes a chisel point on the inside to bust/cut the nut when you tighten the screw. Not very good description but the best I can do.

Or you could use my ex-wife. She was a real nut buster.

I just spent a lot of time getting some rusted nuts/bolts loose. I bought some penetrating oil -- I splurged and bought the expensive stuff $4 a spray can vrs $2 ;-). Over a weekend and most of a week, I'd spray and twist and turn and maybe even beat on the wrench a little. It took a 1/2 drive breaker bar and 2 foot pipe to get the larger ones loose, but they all finally came loose.

It seemed to take spraying, and soaking, and then trying to twist them off with a wrench and then spraying again, etc. before they finally let loose.
