Everything from bolts to the hub bearing are stuck. they have so much rust build on that not only am I having a hard time with the bolts but the bearing is also stuck. I haven't been able to get them off and is stressing. Can someone give me a trick to take them off please?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, rust can always be a pain to deal with. Here is the WD-40 Penetrant I like to use.. You might also want to try using a MAP gas style torch to heat up.. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
