Re: Very rusty rear coil spring bolts in 1968 C10
There is a big difference between a cheap propane torch head and a good one. MAPP gas is even hotter.
I like to get it hot, then spray it with PB. Seems to wick it in. Then heat it up again.
Sometimes a whack with a hammer can help jostle a bolt loose.
I've heard acetone and ATF is better than PB. I have a bottle of it in my garage. Not sure if it is actually better or not.
Use 6 point sockets. Good ones will focus the load more on the sides than the corners. Even Harbor Freight ones do this.
Giant breaker bar with a cheater pipe. The longer it is, the more mechanical advantage you have.
