Radiator support removal

Post by 71Ford100 »

I can't get the radiator support mount bolts loose, I soaked them in oil any other sugestions other than getting them hot.

And while letting the penetrant soak on the part, tap it with a hammer occaionally. The vibrations will help the penetrant work into the threads better.
An impact wrench might be a good thing to use on it as well.
