torched mine till they was HOT orange than let it cool for about 20 seconds and go at it with the socket wrench.

good luck. My car has been in chicago weather for most of its life so it see's salt every winter/year. Just keep going!

had the same problem also when i did mine. i used penitrating oil on the whole thing including the back side of the stud. the whole stud came out with one and the nut came off the other. i just bought a new studs and nuts at the parts store. we also made a tool at work to remove the other stud bc the bolt striped the treads bad. keep trying, :tickedoff: if ya get mad soak it and take a break. good luck!
