I'm in the process of installing a set of adjustable coil-overs and DAMN if I didn't get through the first coil without a hitch but now I'm working on the other side and it appears that some of the bolts are frozen...

As far as the mod, I'll be sure to post some pictures later on.

Any tips on how to un freeze a bolt would be much appreciated.
 
PB'laster and a breaker bar. If that doesn't do it, heat.

Don't forget that a moment of trying to tighten can often help loosen a bolt. Also, banging (hard) on nearby parts can help break a rust-weld, but do not bang down on a knuckle that is at full droop (unless you never want to use that shock again).
