My BMX is rusty how do i change the inner tube?

I want to remove the wheels but the bike is quite rusty which makes the bolts impossible to unscrew. Is there a way of removing the rust inside the bolts or an alternative way of changing the bikes inner tube without actually having to take the wheel off ... Thank you

If a good penetrating oil and a decent spanner does not do the job, there are alternatives, but I do not recommend any of them. They have worked for me when restoring old bikes.

Penetrating oil. Let soak in for 24 hours.

Mechanical advantage. Get a huge, strong length of pipe in order to be able to exert many more newton meters to the spanner.

Heat. Get a blowlamp on the nut and get it hot. You'll probably damage the paintwork.

Impact driver. A device that accepts socket wrenches. You hit the impact wrench with a big hammer in order to break the rust seal.

Chisel. Get a steel chisel and hammer the nut in an anticlockwise direction. New nuts wanted.

Nut splitter. A Device that will split the nut in half. New nuts wanted .

Hacksaw. cut the nut off. Don't damage the axle. New nuts wanted anyway.

You've got to take the wheel off in order to change the inner tube.
