Yeah, pb blaster is awesome.

Don't feel bad, my bolts actually broke off on the turbo side. Kind of embarrassing, kind of cool at the same time.

stripped nuts? go out and get yourself a good quality 6 pt. socket set (craftsman is fine). I finally caved and got a good tool setup and its made all the difference.

Use your jack handle as leverage on the ratchet/wrench, you can break any nut that way.
