Quick question guys. I'm changing the starter on my 91 Pony Escort and I can't break loose one of the bolts. I tried spraying WD40 on it and it didn't do a thing. What is good to use to break loose bolts? I've been driving the 00 GT everyday and putting too many miles on it. lol Thanks for the help.

Put a closed-end wrench on it and hit it with a hammer. Impacting it off works better than trying to turn it off using strenght.

Don't forget to give the PB Blaster time to work. Keep spraying and letting it soak in for hours or days even.
