agreed. spray the hell out of the bolts. wait a few hours do it again....right before bed, soak again. spray one more time in the morning when you start working on the truck. That is a great product. Also, make sure you rock the bolts back and forward. dont just give it hell in one direction (off). go a little off, then go a little on. By rocking it back and forwards, you decrease the chances a shearing the bolt.
