trying to take off the front end so I can swap out my ultra rusty rad support. looks like I might need a new inner fender also....any tips to get these cage nut bolts out or do I just need to get a grinder?

There's really no trick other than penetrating oil and maybe vise grips. If you can get one to at least start to unscrew - work it out, then in, then out, then in. This will help clear the debris off the threads..... sometimes. Once they break and start spinning - grind away.

yeah they're soaked in oil....can't really get vice grips to stay because they're always at an angle there's not enough room around them to get a nice flat grip. guess I'll grind....and replace the inner fender

I just received a new inner fender for my 69. Shipping is a killer for this oversize part!

They will come out easy with a propane torch. Get them red then they will turn right out.

Chevy purist don't read this (Lol). 'Mopar Rust Penetrant' is the best stuff I have ever used to loosen rusted nuts and bolts. Get it at the Dodge dealership.
