I don't know what everyone's talking about with air tools and cutting it off. I got all the bolts off with about a foot and a half of extensions, a swivel, and an 8 inch long 1/2 inch ratchet. My car's an 02, it was average rust. PB blast those mother****ers and just use some muscle to break them loose. Once they're loose they should turn real easy.

they are not all that easy, some are VERY rusted, depends on where you live, I live down south by the coast, so salt is an issue. Use PB Blaster, deep creep, wd 40, all that goot stuff and nothing, also could of been tampered with before, but who knows...
yea i got all of them loose except for the bottom bolt on the passenger side, couldnt get the socket on all the way because of the angle. itried removing the starter to give me more room but i couldnt get to the top bolt so that idea went out the window. it started getting dark and too cold outside to bother with it anymore so i put it all back together and will probably try in the spring when its not 30 outside. thanks for all the help, hopefully i'll get it eventually.
Wow, I can't believe you guys let your cars get that rusty in just a matter of 4 or so years.
