Gettin Pretty Frusterated

I had to unbolt the crossmember (actually dmaxfireman did) and beat the ever living crap out of it with a sledge with the truck as high as I could get it.
the last set i did i soaked for two nights with some PB, had a buddy hold one big ball peen while i smacked that one with a bigger sledge. Took about 4 smacks this way. Before i soaked and had help i beat for 2-3 hours with no luck.
Here is another good product you gents should get and try.

I've used this stuff and nothing else has come close to getting rusty parts separated unless heat was involved. When I had to do ball joints on my Jeep the hub/spindles etc disassembly was a mother. After squirting the rust buster on the parts let it set for a few minutes and a couple hits with the hammer it came right apart.
