coilovers

well i have some coilovers and i need to adjust them and i need to loosen the screw, so i can adjust it up and down. well i tried to and i looks like it is rusted, i have tried wd-40 and it isnt really working, is there anything else i could try to break the rust...........thanks

Spray WD-40 liberally and jack your car way up in the air. You took your wheels off right? I know you don't have to in the front but I've always had to in the rear.

I usually spray mine with WD-40 after I wash it weekly. Helps prevent future problems.

heat it up with a torch, just don't heat the shock up too much.

Try some liwuid wrench man..or penetrating lube (same stuff), and a little bit of uhh..shock force :) I used two very large prybar screwdriver things...worked for me, car was actually sitting almost an inch lower on the right side and 2 inches higher in front! After the lube use some heat, but careful..that stuff is really flammable!

get a impact screwdriver. the kind you hit with a hammer.
