I second that. I have also used a large screwdriver with a square shank and
vise grips to get extra torque on them.
I have had very good success using 50/50 ATF and acetone also
straight ATF as a penetrant and lubricant but you need to get it onto the
threads which are behind the kick panel and door panel. I had one bolt, on
another vehicle, that I could not budge and did not want to break that I was
able to soak in ATF overnight; it took only light effort to move after the
soaking. Not that you can dip the car in ATF but you can apply and let the
ATF soak in for a time including overnight.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Door hinges
I have used a hand held hammer impact with success. Are you spraying
penetrant on the inside also?

Work continues on the restoration, but I find the door hinges to be somewhat
permanently attached to the doors even when using an impact wrench. That
made me wonder if I am missing some secret Tiger knowledge about how to
remove the hinges from the door other than more penetrant, a bigger wrench,
or hammer, etc. Feels like something other than rust alone is keeping the
two from separating. Suggestions?
