Those four nuts located on the driveshaft arent even moving.. I tried with all my might but no good [Mad] What do you guys recommend? Breaker Bar? The easiest & cheapest way to remove that thing .

Thanks
Dave

12 point wrench......use a breaker bar on the end of the wrench...parking break and in gear....shouldn't be a problem.

Use pb blast if you can get your hands on a can....if not, just soak those little baastards in wd-40 or something similar.

have u tried using ur foot, put the wrench or whatever on the bolt on the very bottom, get on the passenger side of the car, and push the wrench with ur foot

i preffer using a long wrench that i have, basically a breaker bar, but another thing is a hammer, like a malet, and just wack it a few time to break the rust, also maybe some penetrant

No havent tried foot yet because im only using a 2Ton Jack and its jacked up from the rear axle//

GET SOME JACK STANDS
they will save ur legs, arms, face, nuts

trust me, even if u just get two, atleast u will know that jack isnt gonna fail because it will eventually and ur gonna be in a world of pain when that car is on ur ass

I had the same problem, I could NOT get the damn things loose. It was even worse because the tranny and motor were out, so it was rotating freely. I just jacked up the rear and set the car on some ramps, then used a breaker bar and a BFH and was able to break them loose.

use a torch and heat them up...then they will come off easily.

This method is by far the easiest way I have found yet if using non air tools... [worship]

Otherwise use an air impact gun and a 12 point 12mm and they will come right off [Whoo Whooooo!]
