This is probably true on a great many cars that are rusty to begin with, but
cars that are not, and the doors have never been removed, I was able to
spray with liquid wrench, let sit overnight, then use an impact screwdriver
on them. I have also used a pneumatic impact wrench and they came right out.
On those that I have stripped, I mig welded a nut onto them and used a
socket when they cooled, but that was only once or twice. Lou
