freezing bolts/nuts works!!!!

couldn't find the loctite brand and found some CRC brand. Took the rearend and leaf springs off the 1960 Polara today and WOW is all I can say. Worked well on the almost 50 year old nuts and bolts including the original shocks. One leaf spring hanger needed freezing then heated then froze again and came of no problem. No broken bolts either!!! Mind you this car has very minimal rust so back east vehicles might not get the same results. Leaf spring bolts are at times some of the toughest to take off.
