seized bolts...

I was in a motor place earlier today buying supplies and mentioned to the guy in there about my problem and he suggested a can of stuff that freezes the nuts, which makes them contract and breaks the rust and such, I suppose does the polar opposite (pardon the pun) of heating them up.

He reckons he has used it loads and has never found anything it won't loosen off.  I think it's by loctite and costs £10.99

Ok, with nothing but brute force and ignorance (and a new breaker bar + a lot of heat) I managed to get the nuts loosened and off.  Cheers for the advice everyone.

Haha, that's ok, they're off, that's the important thing.  It was a lovely learning experience.

Incidentally, My car literally kicked me on the face today.  I was removing the rear drivers side suspension.  Undid the nuts in the top blah blah blah; undoing the bottom nut and POW.  The nut pops out, the hub flicks up and slams me square on the nose.

It hurt, but mostly it was funny.
