I have tried vice grips, wrenches, waterpump pliars, sockets, ect...These bastards don't budge. No matter what tool I use it slips off. I don't want to keep trying because it is stripping the bolts. What do I need to do to get these off?

did you try using liquid wrench or WD40 to lubricate them....

usually that's not even need...of all the FSTB installs i have done sockets were all that was needed...

 

Ah you could try using the proper tools. Vice grips don't cut it.

You have to use either box ends or the proper socket size. If the nuts are hard to remove, then you are probably using a 3/8" drive and a 5-6" handle. That's too small. Try using a breaker bar(12" handle) or something longer. Carefull not to break the stud though.

 

breaker bars are always good to use. that's what i had to do.

 

Don't try to cut me down I was using every tool possible when I couldn't get it off. I used a socket with about a 16" handle on it. I was using WD-40 with a few applications, going to get some liquid wrench and a 6 point socket (instead of a 12) and try again tomorrow...just wanted to see if anyone had any tricks or something, everyone needs to chill out on here.
