Hello caadoptees,
My favorite rust penetrent that works remarkably well ,is called PB Blaster .I get it from my local CarQuest auto parts store.Napa might have it too.I use it mostly for exhaust manifold studs and nuts where the exhaust pipe attaches
at the manifold ,almost daily in my auto repair shop .Spray your shock nuts well and go have a sandwich or ? come back and give them a turn.I spray it on as Im turning the nut if needed.Patience is key ,let the blaster work a bit
and they should come off.WD40 is better for lubricating the nuts upon reassembly .There is of course liquid wrench ,but PB Blaster is exceptional
on rusted fasteners.DONT put a torque wrench on them to remove ,you want to be able to "feel" the nut as it works loose,is it coming off too tight ,more penetrent ? etc.
Good luck there
