Message	so i have a carbing strut bar with zeal coilovers, all 4 nuts on the strut bar decided to be nearly seized onto the studs from the coilovers, so when i went to loosen them to take off the strut bar for maintenance work, well they started to strip, at first i thought i used the wrong socket so i double checked, and nope it was correct, i broke 2 of the nuts free but the other two started to strip so bad i decided to just stop...anyone have any suggestions on getting the nuts off without damaging the studs (coilovers are expensive to replace/repair) i tried pb blaster, used 1/2 breaker bar, 6pt sockets (not the 12pt ones) even went to try a wrench but yea that wasn't going to fit...
