Default 1999 1500 front drive shaft removal

Hey guys, workin on my father in laws truck, changing the transfer Case. I read the DIY and te service manual, but I'm wondering how you guys got the 4 bolts out of the front drive shaft where it bolts to the transfer case. I can only barely get a wrench on them and I don't have enough leverage to break them loose. They're soakin in penetrant right now and I tried heating it up with my torch.

15 mm extension and a socket

You can rotate the drive shaft and let it hang down a little and should be able to get to the top most bolt.

Rotate and repeat.
