Bob sent me some sweet new levelers but damn are the old ones frozen!!! Can anyone give me some tips on how to loosen these bad boys, never had them this stuck. Thanks.
 
Go to Auto Zone and get some PB Blast
This stuff literally eats rust. I use it on a ton of stuff and have no problems after using it.
 
Thanks guys, I got it. I ended up using WD-40 and let it sit then just man handled it with a wrench and it finally loosened but dam it was hard. Careful not to bend the outside metal.
 
As a Jeep owner, I've delt with all types of rust and "liquid helpers"

WD40 is a lubricant, its not really designed to break up rust. PB Blaster is great stuff for actually freeing up parts that are rusted solid. It does have a bit of a stink to it, but its almost a cologne for jeep owners. :)

I've heard people recommend Kroil, but at 11$ for a 10oz can, I'm in no rush to try it.
 
Hi gang,,
I know I'm a newbee ..
But I gotta chime in here...
WD40 is a water displacing preservative...
It is not a lubricant...
It is made with fish oil and displaces moisture...
..
It was concocted to coat rocketry components to keep them water moisture resistant so that they wouldn't be prone to oxidation prior to rocket launch.
...
Use a rust buster like liquid wrench to loosen rusted hardware.
..
WD40 by the nature of its water blocking properties will eventually loosen rusted hardware - but really, waiting for a week to loosen something is way to long. With a rust buster, you can be done in minutes.
...
Just my 2.125 cents worth....

What he said. PB Blast is the stuff! I had to hit my body mounts on my 93' Wrangler for a week daily to get them to come loose. Yes it is "Colonge' " for a Jeep! :)
