So my axleback bolts are completely rusted. The nuts are acting like they are fused to the bolts. I've PB blasted; I've tried both 6 pt. box end wrenches and sockets with a breaker bar, and they don't budge. They just want to round off. I don't have a blowtorch and I'm not going to risk hurting something under the car by going to get one. I have a nut splitter now and will be attempting to make use of that after dinner and after I've gone and sourced some new bolts, because the stock ones will not be recoverable.

Worst case, I break out the Dremel.

FUN.
