Damned Stuck Bolts

[KA24DESOneThree]

If there's one thing I hate about working on older cars, it's the bolts. I'm so friggin' pissed off right now it's not even funny.
My problems right now:
Every lug stud in the rear on the left side won't mate, so they just spin freely.
The upper caliper-frame-thing retaining bolt on the right side won't loosen, so I can't get the disc off. It's been soaking in liquid wrench for a while and it still won't budge. *Edit: Just got it off.*
My cat jumped on the car, then slipped and fell off the front fender, dragging her claws down, so I have nine white scratchmarks down the paint.
I've destroyed two lug nuts in the process of changing the front studs and the left rear studs.
I was supposed to send out a package today and get tires, but I doubt I'll be done with this project in time.

Does anyone have any help for the stud problems?

Well, I started at roughly 9:15am and got done at 8:03pm.

Oh, and a note to you people who use 2x4s as ramps... make sure they aren't sized so when the car rolls off them, one of them pops up, jams itself into the leading edge of the driver's side wheelwell, and stops the car cold. Yes, it does dent the sheetmetal. Fark.

I don't QUITE understand your problem, but if it's stuck bolts, try a really big wrench if you have it. If you don't have one, find a long (I use one thats about 4 1/2 feet) hollow metal pipe that won't bend, put the wrench to the bolt and put the handle of the wrench in the pipe, then twist with the opposite end of the pipe for mad leverage. A can of Parts Break never hurt anyone, either.

Buy a blow torch, and heat up the bolts. That always helps!

or try tightening it some before loosening it, i've heard this work. impact wrench and dont be afraid to crank the biatch to 120psi plus instead of the 90 alot of impacts recommend. other then that letting some liquid wrench sit for a long while. our cats do the same shit, they sit on the car in the winter cuz the sun reflecting on it makes the surface warm then they claw the shit out of it or leave muddy paw prints. im glad i have a garage for my 240 now.

Here's a tip for the future since it sounds like you got it all done already. USE ANTI-SIEZE!! That stuff will make sure those studs will never do that again. It can be found in any auto parts store for like 2 bucks. Make sure you put some on all the threads on each lug. You souldn't have to reapply the stuff for about a year or so depends on how often you take your rims off. Always use a breaker bar or the jack bar method that most jacks come with now to break lugs loose. The leverage of those long bars makes everything alot easier.
Sorry to hear about the cat. Get a car cover!! That way they can't leave hair, claw marks and prints all over your precious ride!! Trust me it's worth it.

Good luck.
