RE: Tips on bolt rmoval

My dad owns a oil-changing/brake/exhaust repair shop so I asked so of the guys for something and they gave me brake cleaner..they said it would work, but after soaking them for over an hour, it had no effect...

the bolts are so rusted that there are no threads! the rust grew up in them
