Rusted Bolts

[4A-GE]

... i was gonna change my seal-beam headlites on my AE92.. but DAMN.. all the bolts inside got rusted... and i couldn't turn them hard... or else i'll strip the bolts... so... any idea or is there any way i could get all of the 4 rusted bolts off!? thx...

this is for my 1990 Corolla GT-S!... thx..

how about some lubricating stuff like liquid wrench?


they also say coke cola works well too, but i never tried it so i dont know for sure. supposedly if u take a rag or something and soak it in some coke and let it sit on the bolt for an hour or so, it'll loosen it up.

use a set of locking vice grips on the outside of the screw, if you can get to it..... that works well & doesn't strip the head out

make sure you don't snap the bolt head off from the shaft. Thats what happened to a lot of the bolts on my camry. You have to drill them out after that, a pain in the ass

Thank goodness to WD40! haha I need to get myself an angle grinder too! Those would come in handy!

WD-40 does not work like other penetrating oils. Use PB Blaster. Trust me, there is a world of difference.

I heard the same thing about toyota penetrating oil. They're 100% better than WD-40. I should try out this PB blaster. I'm going to need it when i do my tie rods. Those are probably seized on my old car.
