A mechanic friend once gave me a tip to try first to tighten a stuck bolt,
then loosen. Don't overdo it though.

Subject: IML: Seized Anchor Bolts?
I found out that I did have the right
brake adjusters located on the 1948 Crown Imperial. The cams turn but
don't appear to really do that much, however the Anchor bolts will NOT turn at
all.
Both front drums are off but won't go on until the shoes
are adjusted. Is there a better way to free up those Anchor bolts?
I have put WD-40 on them in hopes that they would loosen. That didn't
help so I tried a little Kroil on them and that so far hasn't worked
either. I have read that the proper lubricant for them is "Lubriplate"
which I will use once I get the Anchor Bolts loosened and any penetrating oil
removed.
Are there any suggestions out there? I really need
to get those tires rolling!
Thanks
Ned
