might have to take em out and torch em till they can move  than spray oil after 

I would but I cant even bust those 3 lil nuts that holds the bracket on the other side. i dont wanna have to torch it still attached to the car. hopefully theyll budge with more oil soakage

If you are just trying to get mounting nuts off....

You can heat nut with real torch if use a large fender washer with a hole just bigger than the nut and heat the living shit out of it real quick..

You could also make a shield  that is larger by just drilling a hole into a piece of sheet metal..  DON"T USE TO THIN OF METAL.!!  it will burn right through and torch the paint fast.

There is no way you're going to be able to heat ,,  those aluminum pivots hot enough and cool with penatrating oil or ( just oil )over and over,,  in the car.. 

 

That shiz is usually locked in a molecular bond only the devil hisself could create.

 

i did them in my 510 and just did them in my 411

the 3 mounting bolts are frozen really good, and the wiper stud. how did you break those loose? I dont wanna break em off because im pretty sure the 3 bolts are riveted or some shit to the bracket.
