    if those bolts have never been taken off itll give you hell and will probably NEVER come off...unless you use air tools i dought itll be an easy task.

    if all else fails, drill through them. and buy replacement bolts.

    are these the spring loaded ones?

    or just take it to some shop and just tell them to loosen them up enough for you to take it off when you get home. if they do charge you it shouldnt be too much

    It's PB Blast

    Use that

    If that does not work then grind the stud off and weld the bitch on there.

    you can bring it up to me in Acworth. I had to so that many years ago, I just got a HUGE breaker bar and put my wrench in in it. After ALOT of pushing I got it. It still was not easy even with a 3 foot breaker bar.
