Any ideas, I'm at a loss now.

Any help would be appreciated.
heat and a 6' pipe extension on the socket wrench

I sure like PB blaster. Worth a try with the heat and breaker bar.

Make sure you use NEVASEEZ when you reinstall.
I just got my flat off and replaced with the spare.
Those nuts and studs were covered with rust but came right off, the threads still had nevaseez on them after more than 8 years.

Should be available at any auto parts store.

Probably even walmart. Just stay away from the marine supply store...

Get the grey one (zinc) not red (copper).
