Help! Trying to get front bottom strut bolts out!!

[pimpalero2003]

Used and impact no luck! Can of liquid wrench and 9 craftsmens wrenches with my breaker bar. Can get more torque with my bar was fine on the rear but cannot get the front to budge! Don't have a torch so can't heat it up. Guys have any other ideas?
Was thinking just cut off nut and hammer it out and just replace with a thick grade 8 bolt.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Take a ball peen hammer and just set the fast on one flat of the nut. Take another hammer and give it a few smacks. Put a socket over the threads so its sitting on the face of the nut and give that a few smacks also.

Use some PB Blaster.

Use a 1/2 break bar. Stand on the bar and hop a few times on it. Should go.

Used hammer also left that out and used liquid wrench same type thing as pb blaster. Bar was using is 1x1 square tube like 10g thick and long as f. Done screwing with it today heat index is 112.

are you sure your going the right direction?

my nuts spun off real easy with a 1/2" impact

for the following procedure, ensure you use the hardened 1/2" or 3/4" drive thick wall impact sockets and wear eye protection.

driver's side:

Raise up, take wheel off. Put breaker bar on. place jack stand under end of "cheater bar". Lower car. I think about 1500 lbs of car should be able to break it loose or break something at least.

passenger side:

take wheel off. lower car. back truck up with ugly steel bumper. place breaker bar under truck bumper. raise car with jack. either nut breaks loose, socket breaks or truck flips over.

Lol that'd be something to get on tape lol

LMFAO at the last part.

[BlackJack]

yeah, I know, hahahah...

but let me know if it works

Rofl i see this epic failing.

But try leverage. I dont remember what size that nut is, but do it with a deep socket, try half inch drive. Then get a long wrench to place on the handle of socket wrench. Then hold where the wrench is on the handle but lift with the wrench being used as leverage.

i had to do this for my wheel bearings aswell and it worked wonders.

[pimpalero2003]

Wow think some one skimmed lol.

[JoshGentry]

Omgg, those are some of the hardest bolts I have EVER messed with. I just put a wrench on it and got a pipe and pulled hard. Lol. Broke a few Stanley tools just tryin to get them off. Lol.

[alerogls001]

LOL @ BlackJack. I had a strut mount to replace several weeks back and it was hell getting those bolts off with the breaker bar.

[pimpalero2003]

Rear was fine be pissed if had Stanley tools. Even though think they have warrenty to,but I have a sears like 5mins away from my house so easy switch out.
