Is it safe to spray some pb blaster on these nuts/screws I can’t get these off.

yes but that probably won't help. you are talking about the ones you get to from right above the knee area that hold that plastic trim cover on?
No e30s again.
I would not use pb blaster inside my car, especially for those that you are kind of spraying at blindly. I’ve had those stuck before also, the ironic thing is that a regular old school pliers with the round jaws gets right at them

yes, I was going to say just grab them with pliers.
I don't know why previous owners crank those suckers on when they remove them. it makes them so hard to turn later on
No e30s again.
PB blaster is good stuff but damn does it stank
I just thought of something else...go through your 12 point sockets, standard and metric, and see if any will fit and grab the teeth on those
those are ultra fine. they seem knurled just for fingers to not slip on them. I don't think anything but pliers would fit
No e30s again.
The pliers trick worked perfectly on the LEFT side only due to it having more room to work with the right side I couldn’t get a good grip on I had to lay under the steering wheel head on the carpet lol and use some kitchen liner to get a better grip on the knurled screw

Glad you got them off..
On a side note - I believe those are aluminum so a rust remover / penetrate - prolly wouldn't do too much to help with initial torque..
they are aluminum, you are right
No e30s again.
For anyone that cares to see the finish product IMG_0935.jpgIMG_0937.jpg
