Use a piece of pipe on a socket wrench to make it longer.

im not even gonna say anything in response to that



soak it down with some wd and let it set for 15 mins.. then try again.. i broke 2 sockets tryin to get mine off and then i finally got it with a breaker bar, a impact socket and all the umph i had.. i had to have my jackstands fully extended in order to use the breaker bar... just be sure not to stip it!!

so have you broken them loose yet? Spray some nutbuster on there, let it sit for a few minutes then go at it with a impact wrench or air ratchet (if you can get someone to loan you one or the other)

Unfortunitly i gave up on it. I dont know many people around here and no one that has a impact wrench. Im going to see if i can find a local shop to break it loose for me. I tried for a while and gave up just went and fixed my headlamp so it didnt grind everytime i locked my doors or close my headlights)
I could really use some help in near future to change my shocks / springs I know one of the front shocks is rusted near the top so it will have to be drilled out. I also went to The Home Depot to look at some air sockets etc. But unfortunitly i dont have a job right now so i may have to wait another month to buy the shocks

If anyone does have an impact wrench i can borrow please let me know i cant wait any longer

i might try the breaker bar if i can get it high enough. not sure if i have any more patients for it. ( wish i had a lift and an air compressor)
