Plus Gas is even better than WD 40.

Not sure how it differs in its chemical constitution, but it's specifically a dismantling spray rather than just a lubricant / water displacer, and I've always found it to be much better at loosening rusted / seized nuts, bolts etc.
As mentioned by PnC its best to to spray on a few hours earlier to allow it to penetrate & do its stuff
