I am a new member and new to restoration. I am learning as I go. I am trying to remove the "steering set pins" from the back plate and can get all but the one closest to the bumper on each wheel. I have tried PB blaster,kroil,heat,and wax. I don't want to snap the bolts and it doesn't look like you get get new ones. Any suggestions Thanks
 
Often a little heat & some Kroil will help. You may have to apply the Kroil for several days in a row to get results. It takes time for it to work into the joint. The other way would be to use an impact wrench. Should be able to borrow or rent one. If you don't have a hefty air supply, the electric impact wrenches work pretty well. I've been using a Black & Decker "Bulldawg" for years.
