1) Clean away as much dirt and rust as possible using a combination of degreasers, detergents, abrasives and wire brushes. This simple step is important to prime for the next step.

2) Search the net for the phrase "penetrating lubricant". These are specifically formulated to squeeze into the small spaces in meshed fastener threads. You can also use wire brushes again to work the lube in.

3) Try to rock the fastener in both directions. If it starts to move keep lubricating and rotate further each time.

4) If these steps don't work buy a "freeze and release" spray and use as instructed.
