1: Go to Wal-Mart (you might want to wait 'til about mid February for this) and get sveral spray cans of PB Blaster penetrant. 2: Soak the fasteners with this and repeat daily for at least a week. 3: Try loosening the fasteners. 4: If this doesen't work, heat the fasteners with an acetelyene torch (a propane torch won't get them hot enough) until they are cherry red, allow them to cool and reapply the PB Blaster as above. 5: Try to loosen the fasteners again. 6: Repeat the heating and penetrant routine until the fasteners either turn loose or break. 7: When you reassemble the fasteners, use Never-Sieze or another anti-sieze compound so this won't be necessary next time. At the reassembly step, consider replacing all the bolts, nuts and lock washes with new hardware. It's not that expensive and eliminates loose fasteners later on. I found this out the hard way on the front wheels of my M. My 2¢, Phil
