REpeated thermal cycling along with all sorts of PB Blaster type application generally helps.

Moving out west helps in minimizing rust seizure.

Basically disassembling your new vehicle and applying proper joint fastener lube also helps in the long run.

I like Kroil myself. It’s done some wonders.

Any new parts going on get anti-seize where applicable. If something has to come back off, I look to keep the grief to a minimum.
