I was trying to install my Edelbrock adjustable panhard rod tonight but I couldn't get the old bolts out, they're real old and rusted. Anybody have any tips on getting them loose? Thanks I'm going to give it a shot again tomorrow.

I'll probably have more questions as I go along I'll just post them in here.
Thanks again.

 

Spray them with some PB Blaster penatrating oil and let them soak overnight.

 

First I tried WD40, heat, and a big impact gun... no luck - it was rusted solid.

So I put a wrench on one end, wedged up against the frame. On the other end of the bolt, I put a 24" breaker bar / socket. I ended up litterally standing on the breaker bar, and bouncing up and down a bit. Eventually, the bolt broke.

You can either do it that way or grind it off.

 

WD40 is not a rust penetrant. Use the strong stuff.

 

I remember that was the hardest part of the job for me as well. The old bolts were seized in there pretty good and a ratchet and a breaker bar were not helping me. I sprayed the bolts with PB Blaster, waited a couple of hours, and then used an impact and zipped them right off.

 

I'll hafta try some of that stuff!

 

That stuff became my best friend when doing the headers. I sprayed all the old rusted bolts down real good and let them soak for a day or so. Then everything came right off without any incident.

 

Alright I picked up some PB Blaster at the store today, gonna spray the bolts down tonight and get on it tomorrow. Thanks for the help so far

 

Make sure your turning the bolts the right way LOL heard stories about canadians.

 

At least we all have metric socket sets!

 

thoese should be easy to find there
