I hate to say it but it took me about half a day to coax those wing nuts on that carrier off the hanger bolts. PB rust blaster has been a godsend. Once I got them loose and off the truck I chased all the threads and then spread some No Lox on them. They work pretty good now. Here are some pictures I got for you before it got too dark tonight. Hope they help.
