If there's one thing I hate about working on older cars, it's the bolts. I'm so friggin' pissed off right now it's not even funny.
My problems right now:
Every lug stud in the rear on the left side won't mate, so they just spin freely.
The upper caliper-frame-thing retaining bolt on the right side won't loosen, so I can't get the disc off. It's been soaking in liquid wrench for a while and it still won't budge. *Edit: Just got it off.*
My cat jumped on the car, then slipped and fell off the front fender, dragging her claws down, so I have nine white scratchmarks down the paint.
I've destroyed two lug nuts in the process of changing the front studs and the left rear studs.
I was supposed to send out a package today and get tires, but I doubt I'll be done with this project in time.

Does anyone have any help for the stud problems?
