Default 85 Corvette fuel line bolts seized

Please help! I’m trying to access the fuel injectors and there are 4 torx head screws along with 2 nuts near the front holding the fuel line on. I stripped a few of the torx heads come to find out they’re all seized/rusted on. Would like to hear if anyone else ran into the same issue, and what solutions there are? Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Try Kroil or other penetrant on the seized bolts. Also try heating w/ a propane torch. An impact wrench could help.

I wouldn't go with a propane torch near any fuel line, not me at least, get an air chisel and shear the bolts off if pb blaster doesn't work after letting it sit overnight and replace with new hardware
