So I posted earlier that I was going to install lowering links..I'm still trying!lol! I can't get the bolt that secures the links to budge. I've torqued it to the point that if I tried anymore I would strip thefreakin thing! Next step find somebody with a high impact wrench. Am I doin somethin wrong. There was 3 of us pulling on this thing

you can try to heat it up first, then it should come off.

[mammut89]

try lots of WD-40 and let it sit for a day

they look like stock links do you thinkk they might have used the red lock tite?

[teddy]

they are tight, and i mean TIGHT from the factory. I damn near busted my 3/8 drive long handled snap-on ratchet breaking those pricks loose when I first started messing with mine...put a wrench on the nut side so it wedges against the undertail, then give it all hell from the bolt side with your ratchet/breaker bar...it'll come loose...

heat always gets the job done

[talXXL99]

Heat? From a butane torch maybe?

This always sounds a little wild, but if you have a length (maybe 2 foot or so) of pipe laying around that will fit over the handle of your wrench or ratchet you can really get some torque on it. The key is constant even pressure, no beating on it or anything like that. Also be darn sure you have the correct socket or wrench, preferably 6 point and not 12 or you will round it right off.

Sometimes after doing this I've literally used 2 or 3 fingers to break the bolt loose instead of fighting with it and cussing.

What would we use for heat

[category5]

If it is lockite - heat will do it for sure. It breaks down the locktite. Be careful around anything you don't want burnt or melted and stay focused with the flame around the bolt.

[talXXL99]

Awesome thank you all for the advice
