   Right my cars been in for coilovers fitting but they can't get the rear strut bolts off, they've sprayed penetrating fluid on it a few times but still no joy. Any suggestions on how to get them off? Heating them up ? Anything else?

   i had the same problem with one of my old cars, we got an oxy burner and gently heated it up to loosen it, but be careful of damaging the threads mate
