So its no secret that today im going to be changing my starter motor, woke up a lil late but i went and got my starter motor, jacked up the car (Wheels underneath) took the battery off and moved it to get to it. And my first problem was that i didnt have the relevent spanner. when and got one, Came back, undid one but the other one is rusted solid. I Just sprayed it with WD40 but whatelse can i do?? What if its stuck am i really screwed? And its in a stupidly awkward place aswell!

spraying it with wd40 is about all you can do mate, spray it up leave it for 20mins and spray it up again and leave, give the wd40 a chance to work in.
and just be patient you dont want to be snapping it!

Wire brush around the bolt/nut then spray with wd40 if that don`t work give the bolt a tap with a hammer(shocks the thread)
