I have tried every thing to get them out. Wrenches, penitrating oil, impacts and next will be heat. Has any one else had this problem and if so what worked for you. I am pulling the rear out to weld up the torque boxes and replace everything on the car as far as suspention goes and this is being a pain in the a$$.

WD-40 and a 12point socket on a huge breaker bar has always done the trick for me.

Yup. They are in there w/ Loc-Tite red thread locker. I used a 1/2" breaker bar w/ 12 point impact socket, two hands and feet against the tranny tunnel. Be sure to put them back in w/ fresh thread locker.

Got them!!
Once I pulled the rear out (with shaft attached) I was able to get right to the bolt with the impact and no extention. Also it had been sitting w/ wd40 on it all day and they came right out. Now a few cans of degreaser and new gears, axels and disc breaks all cutisey of a five lug conversion. Thanks for the input.

I'm glad you got them out, I was going to suggest adding about a 1000hp and dumping the clutch at about 5,000rpm.. ....jk..
I cant wait to see how the 5-lug Ponies look on your car..Hook us up with some pics, (if you can)when you are all done with the conversion..

Heat is also a good way to soften up the thread locking compound...I use a small propane torch. Just don't heat the hardware till it's red hot or you'll affect the strength of the fastener
