Need Installation help for LCA
Got the rear on jack stands, rear end lightly supported by floor jack, tires off.
How in the hell do you break the bolts loose? Ive been trying to beat on the wrench, but no go. Is there something to spray on there to help loose up the rust or something?

For the front;12-16" breaker-bar or ratchet, 6 point socket, universal or swivel, and 8-10" extension, also a boxed end wrench. For the rear; 12-16" breaker-bar,or ratchet,and 6 point socket. also a boxed end wrench. FYI you could of just backed your car up on some ramps to remove/install the control arms, then just do one side at a time.

TA1364, PB Blast will help. In the future find someone in your area that has done what you are trying to do before you get started. That way they can give you some pointers and if you run into a problem you can go to them for suggestions or help.

breaker bars are your friend. A propane torch can help loosen stuck bolts as well. (Edit to note: Don't torch things that melt (or catch fire!), obviously)
