Use liquid wrench, PB Blaster etc....

I did A LOT of drops back in the mid 90s and we would soak all the bolts with a good penetrating oil the night before so that in the morning it was gravy... Even the rustiest ******* would come loose after an overnight soak. Especially if you have an impact or air wrench at your disposal, that always helped, especially on the U bolts and shackle bolts.
