i just use my rigged breaker bar. i just take my big pipe that i use to lift my jacks. and i shove my wrench in those so it gives me an extra 3 feet of leverage and it takes no effort to remove those bolts.

more leverage = less work you actually have to do

yah, if your car's on a lift then sure, np...but if you're under jackstands
and need 3ft of clearance that's a lot of space you need to work in.
i'd just do the 3/8 drive breaker bar and a mallet. works every time.
WD40 trick is good too for last resort. if that doesnt work, get an
impact gun.

well if you need more clearence then i guess find a shorter pole. my poles detach into smaller stems. 1 1/2 feet long i would say. you know what i have also used and it works GREAT. is a club, like the things you lock your steering wheel with. you take the locking part out and use the base(with the rubber handles) and stick your wrench inside that.
i learned that from the junkyard junkies that love to find parts there. heh

Sorry to bring this back...I was trying to unbolt those two sucker today with no luck. I feel silly for asking this...Should I unbolt the "head" (one facing the rear) or the back bolt (one facing the front)?
The back bolt seems to be 15mm and need a deep socket. However, the bolt on the passenger side doesn't have enough clearance for deep socker, how did you guys do it?
I am a mechanic retard today but at least I got my undercoat done (that $15 bucks Bondo stuff is worth it...thanks AppleMac Fit for showing me how).
Any tips is appreciated. Will try again tomorrow morning.
