put it on a lift and get a nice 4' breaker bar, the acetylene oxygen torch will help the most though, along with some PB Blaster!

I hit the wrench I had on mine with a board several times before it broke loose, but it worked. The handy 2x4!

I would do this but we had it on jack stands, no access to a lift. I'll start soaking the bolts in JB blaster for the next few days.

Also..wouldnt using WD40 then heat light it on fire? lol

wow, i have never heard of those bolts being that tough to get out. My bronco had the same bolts and it was rusted to hell and they were pretty much the only bolts that i could get out without a torch

Just for reference... it's PB Blaster, not JB Blaster.
