Getting the Wheeling Fever
Got new tires (33x12.5 x15 Goodyear Duratracs) but can't get an alignment because one of the tie rod locking bolts is rusted frozen. The shop tried penetrating oil, heat, leverage and it's a No Go!

Any other suggestions???

Wheeler
I had that problem on our 1984 LS. I cut the nuts in half with a cut off wheel to get them off, then welded them back together.
