Yeah, you can buy the 'proper equipment' for the amount a shop will charge. Plus you'd get some DIY experience

 

Yeah, you've got a jack in your car, Sears sells 2 and 1/4 ton rated jackstands for $15 a pair, and you can pick up an extremely basic socket wrench set for about $6-10 also from Sears if you don't already have a socket wrench. There's no other tools needed.

 

Keep in mind the bolts are prob all rusted on so basic tools will not be enough...a cheap 4" grinder with a cut-off wheel will save you much time and aggravation.

All my bolts came off with the socket wrench with minimal effort. I don't think a grinder is necessary, probably just some penetrating oil or even WD-40

 

PB Blaster

Worked great for me. Maybe even a 2' cheater bar for those stubborn bolts.

 

if they charge you more than 1hrs worth of labor then you are getting ripped off

 

2 Jackstands: $15
Hydraulic Jack: $20
PB Blaster: $3
Cheap set of sockets and a ratchet: $10
Hammer: who the hell doesnt already have a hammer?

Just stick the socket on the bolt and hit the ratchet with a hammer to loosen it up (after spraying PB Blaster on it, of course ). Now you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself, and you'll have a little set of tools to work on your car in the future.

 

if its that bad, just get wd40 and keep soaking it continuously for an hour. no matter what it should come off.

 

No, from what I've seen PB Blaster penetrates much better than WD-40. WD-40 is good for cleaning and as an intial lubricant. For breaking rusted bolts free go with PB Blaster, it does wonders.
