i used a very stout socket..not any thin wall stuff...big ratchet and a pipe on that to give the leverage...theyll go...just need enuf pressure..two people are good that one can hold the tranny n one can break them loose

Soak it well with a penetrating lubricant and for a good long while, then apply some heat with a torch to the nut. Then, follow all the torque adding advice given so far.

Watch your knuckles.

Yeah I got them just useda breaker bar and the holow handle from an extra jack I had lying around for some extra leverage haha.

now the only problem is one of the bolts coming through the xmember broke loose and is spinning around in the mount with the nut stuck half way on the bolt. and i've tried everything to try to hold that bolt steady but I cant get any pliers on it or anything. And you cant use anything to cut the bolt either because its such a small area.
