This has got me pissed and delayed.....any suggestions? I tried everything, Heat, PB blaster soak, air gun.......F'in thing wont budge. 3 ton jack wont even move it! Myself and my neighboor have never seen anything like it. Trucks only a 2001 too?
i had the same problem, and a 4 foot cheater bar didnt even work, with 2 guys bouncing on it. i eventually got it off with a 3/4in impact. it took about 2 sec give that a try
I hearya man i just went through this.....gonna need a highly powerful impact gun and heat....what i did was heat it up for a good minute and then instantly switched over to the socket and impact before u lose too much heat and it came off, slowly, but it did come off. good luck.
the pb is a waste of time, that stuff is useless. i use CRC Knocker loose and its the best penetrating fluid i've used so far (haven't tried them all). i haven't seen a nut or bolt stay stucks with that stuff yet but i'm gonna do the same job your doing in a couple days so we'll see if its as good as i hype it up to be.
also, zman swears by cyclo penetrating fluid. he's been using it for 30 years so it must be some good stuff.
