    I cant get the bolts off to get the brackets on. They're completely seized. I used PB Blast and tapped on them with a hammer. They are started to round. Hopefully i dont have to use a bolt extractor on all 4 bolts. Any suggestions?hood bolts 1.jpg hood bolts 2.jpg

    How long did you PB Blaster them? Did you soak everyday for a week? That usually does it.

    Use some heat. A torch usually helps too.

    Crank them a little tighter. It'll break the rust on the back side, rather than trying to pull it through the threads from the beginning.
