PB blaster ftw. Stuff works miracles... I used it on my friends 91 cb7 and those suspension bolts came off like butta.

or just take it to some shop and just tell them to loosen them up enough for you to take it off when you get home. if they do charge you it shouldnt be too much

It's PB Blast

Use that

If that does not work then grind the stud off and weld the bitch on there.

you can bring it up to me in Acworth. I had to so that many years ago, I just got a HUGE breaker bar and put my wrench in in it. After ALOT of pushing I got it. It still was not easy even with a 3 foot breaker bar.
