I need to take my Spotlights off my old Mini so I can put them on My new Cooper.

Problem is that the bolt that holds the entire light onto the arm has totally rusted tight!

I cant get the thing to budge.

What should I do? Has anyone over come this problem and can help me?

Put some penetrating oil (not WD40) on the bolt/screw and let it sit overnight.

That may do it.
