Rust removal

I'm about to start changing the clutch soon, but there are a few VERY rust bolts, they look as though they're about to crumble. I've thought about using wd-40, but what are your thoughts on products that remove rust chemically? Would that be a better solution to removing rusty bolts?

Try PB Blaster. Much better than WD 40
