Adjustable torque arm My adjustable torque arm is rusted locked. I was going to change the angle and I can't turn the adjuster at all. I loosened the backing nuts, but the main turnbuckle type nut I can't budge at all. I sprayed it with AeroKroil and will let it soak overnight.
I tried unloading it with the floor jack, but it won't move. I can see a little rust on the threads...must have been from washing as the car has never been in the rain.

... thats why when we send out parts the threads are chased and anti-seize is applied to the threads.
good luck. if none of the tricks work then you will have to get it warm enough with a torch and unscrew the adjuster all the way out. then chase the threads and apply anti-seize lube.
