Re: Bumper Bolts

I've had much better luck with PB (Parts Blaster) or Sea Foam. Some say KROIL is even better. Liquid Wrench sucks....
Try to heat first and then use lube.

Re: Bumper Bolts

Mine took a day to get off but got there in the end with a few soakings of WD40. Also, used some pipe over the end of my socket set wrench for more leverage which helped a lot. Plus a bit of persuasion with a mallet. After 40 years those things are tough.
