all the usual methods of heat and penetrating oil. Also google ATF and acetone to remove rusty bolts. All the old timers swear by it.

I use pb blaster spray the bolts once a day for a few days before hand and they come right out.

PB Blaster all the way!!!

I spend 90% of my jobs on my car taking the parts off and only 10% of my time and energy into putting the new parts on. Taking these old cars apart is a biatch!!!
