First time these rockers have been off ever! Drilled out original rivets and then cleared out three ponds of dirt! Amazingly, rust free!
Anyway, the damn three cheesehead screws won't budge. Snapped one off and will have to drill out (another fun project forthcoming) Currently blasting and letting them soak 24 hours with penetrating lube from Tacoma screw http://www.tacomascrew.com/s.nl/it.A/id.61346/.f Questions: Is there a penetrating bolt busting lube that reigns supreme or is mine good enough? How long should I wait? Any other tips? I don't have access to a welder so I can't tack on a better bolt head to loosen unfortunately. I also have mapp gas, but the rocker panel seems like it's acting like a heat shield and I suspect isn't getting the bolt hot enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Aero Kroil works well. tacoma screw products or online. that you have to get the product to defy gravity doesn't help much. esp on the top of the threaded hole/tip of the screw so it can drain down.
