Does anybody have any information on how to get my 36 Terraplane hood hinges free. I have soaked them for several weeks and they are not moving. They are rusted up good. Looking for suggestions.

Kroil oil, WD40, PB Blaster and Deep Creep

Maybe molasses might help or a hot wrench.

Molasses is a rust remover but a little slow. It's a hot wrench not a hot wench - significant difference!! Try some heat.

I understand molasses will not harm metal, it only attacks rust. Much safer for the metal vs acid , or some kind of glass or sand blasting which actually removes some metal as well as the rust.
