Scrape off the undercoating if you can. Hopefully you don't have a lot of rust. If you do, soak the daylights out of the threaded rod and nuts with penetrating oil. The best stuff is a home brew of 50/50 transmission fluid and Acetone. Put it in a little can and paint it in there with a toothbrush or put it in an old Windex bottle
