Great news and bad news...help

Ok, two days ago I go to the junkyard and ask the guy if they had the trunk of a MAX 95, my lucky day, the junkyard had a dark Green (same as my car color) with spoiler, for $125. wasn't that a perfect deal. the trunk is in great shape,no rusts (like mine has) but the spoiler is damaged. That is not a problem since I have a spoiler of my own.

Now here is the problem.

I had to remove the spoiler form the new trunk and put the spoiler of my old trunk on, I look at the bolts and they were all rusted, when I tried to unscrew them I broke one of them, (while trying to unbolt) and two of them turn but don't come off.

my questions is.

Is it possible to buy new bolts+screw and replace the ones from the spoiler? if I were to break them away from the spoiler.

Thanks from any reply.

Ok, I just got a message from JRNissanParts, and he told me they come atatched to the spoiler (can't replace them.)but now I have another question.

I haven't touched the spoiler from my old trunk (the spoiler I'm going to use), what is the best way to remove the bolts with out breaking the studs from the spoiler. I used wd-40 on the other spoiler and it didn't work with the other one.

I don't want to touch anything now, until I can do this job correctly.

Thanks.

I would use some rust penetrating spray. I had no trouble getting tough bolts off for replacing y-pipe when using this stuff. You can get it at AutoZone and it is just an anti-seize spray.

also, you might have to do this more than one time. I would just get under there, spray the bolts, and tap on them lightly with a hammer. Then, let it sit for a while, and come back later and do this again. Repeat until the bolts can break loose.
