Not to start another flaming thread, but was is the best penetrating liquid to break free rusted bolts? An opinion of professional mechanics would be especially appreciated.
I just broke the first bolt I tried on the front swaybar - and that after soaking it for a week in WD-40. For some reason these bolts seem kinda triangular (as ooposed to perfectly round) in cross section. What is the idea behind that? Self locking of some sorts? It does easily leats moisture in - that is probably the reason why these bolts get so easily rusted on the threads.
