Sticky bolts on Paslode IM350
I'm trying to release the four bolts on the back of the gun that allow access to the cylinder/ fan etc so that I can service it. Te bolts have seized in the brass nuts. I can't shift them at all and the nuts are spinning in the casing when I turn the bolts. I have tried WD40 but with no sucess.

Has anyone got any ideas for freeing these up? Need to get it serviced for Monday morning.
Thanks.

can you stick a flat head or putty knife in between the brass nut and plastic case to stop the nut from spinning?

Ok I've sorted it.
Adapted an old flat head screwdriver by cutting a slot in the middle. This enabled me to hold the two slits in the brass nut whilst I turned the bolt.
