Trying to remove the hardware in the suspension area and some nuts and bolts are stuck solid. I've sprayed some PB blaster and it loosened it up a small bit but still no luck on the actual removal of the hardware

Heat it up and then try to loosen it

Torch

Just started learning how to work on cars. Not sure how to exactly heat up the nuts and bolts with a torch

 

[sally2002]

Just take a simple hand held torch and heat up the nut you are wanting to remove and work it back and forth

How much do torch's run? And it won't but the sheet metal surrounding the nut?

Get a handheld one for under 30$ bucks prob at any hardware store , Home Depot , lowes, etc... You'll be fine just heat the suckers up they should budge

Something like this is all you really need and your local hardware store or Walmart will have it just not really sure about price

Thanks for everyone's help. If it wasn't for this forum, my car would just be sitting here with me not knowing what to do

Just be careful with the torch around fuel lines and rubber lines, bushings, etc. the torch can be found in the plumbing dept. get one with a built in igniter they're easier to mess with.

Or air tools

Or air tools

I was also thinking about that but wasn't sure on what size air compressor I would need for use of any air tools

 

[Venomouz831]

Don't get a pancake style one. Get a good one with at least 20 gallon or at least 5hp

+1
Most of the automotive type tools require 80-90 psi to function and at that rate you need some tank storage or else your compressor will be running every 2 minutes. Get the biggest you can afford and then get the next size. The little ones are only good for filling tires and airbrushing and finish nail guns.

Would something like this work?
