Very rusty terminal???

Ok so one of my rainbows must have been sitting in water or somthing because when I took it out to do some deadening the terminals were so rusted that I couldnt even unscrew them... What do you guys suggest I do? Should I put some WD40 on and try and loosen them up or will that damage something?

spray the wd onto a cotton swap and dab the terminals. let it sit for awhile and then try to unscrew them. but careful not to strip the heads though.

pb blaster, better than WD for rusty stuffs. gently and carefully spray a small amount on there (aim away from the coil/spker if you can obviously), wait a minute or 2, and it should break free.

that blows man, why's water getting in there?
