xr4ti seized strut top nuts

I've tried everything I know short of cutting. I'm just trying to remove them. Any suggestions for removal?

Lefty loosey?

which way is that? I've always just used a hammer and hoped for the best.

pb blaster + propane torch + impact gun?


wait....that might start something on fire. eh, fuck it.

My daily life is a Saab story (sold!)

set car on fire-->collect insurance-->replace with less rusty Volvo from PNW...

Lets see.. there is Lub-E, Knock-R-Loose, Nutz-Off, good old WD-40, my personal favorite; Liquid Wrench, and I've heard some wierdos talk about pouring Coca-Cola on siezed stuff. Maybe ants come and eat off the rust? I dunno.

Dustin which are you pulling off? Stockers?
Reach in with a pair of fresh vise grips and grab the bar.

A good strong impact gun and socket that fits good lots of line pressure usually just zips them right off.

Soaking rags in white gas (coleman lantern fuel) and packing them in around the stuck nuts and bolts then leaving them for 5-24 hours can be highly effective as well.

White gas also works well for eating crud off of stuff with out leaving a residue (seemed to be a pretty common trick when I was restoring my '79 CanAm qualifier).

Thanks for the advice all. That'll do it John. I wasn't thinking straight.
