can i do something that doesnt require buying any lubricants. i mean i've been using wd40 and an open end wrench. im starting to get frustrated and its 10:30 on a sunday night and i wont be able to go buy anything at this hour.

wd40 + cig lighter.

open end wrench will strip the nut. get a 6 point socket instead.

Drive around for a bit to get the piping heated up. This will make the bolts very easy to come off...just wear some gloves and don't burn yourself..but it will help them come off.
