T1R Carbon Fiber Rear Strut Bar....I am trying to remove the screw on top of the strut using an allen wrench in the screw thread and a 14mm wrench. Neiher one will budge. I even connected my hydraulic jack handle to the end of the allen wrench for leverage and nothing. Bent the damn jack handle. Whole thing spins or nothing moves. Any ideas?

Is this threaded the opposite way? I don't think an impact wrench will help because you have to hold the allen wrench on top of the screw and can not get a socket on it. Thanks in advance for any ideas to help. Thanks!

 

Have you tried any penetrating lubricants like WD40 or pb blaster?

 

+1 rep doctordoom WD40 best friend

mines were hard ass shit too i got a 2012

 

pb blast is the only thing I use.

 

In a pinch I've had some good luck with the poor mans impact: setup your allen and wrench as normal, preload your wrench by pushing on it and then take a heavy (3-5 pound) steal mallet and hitting the end of the wrench. Don't be afraid to hit it hard as it may take a few whacks to get it free. Another option would be a breaker bar and a crows foot wrench set:


As already mentioned, hit that sucker with some penetrating oil first and give it a minimum of 10 minutes to soak in.
