Having trouble with the install of these bars. Can anyone give advice on how to remove the body/frame mount bolt?

 

it should just come right out. whats the problem? If its rusted, spray some PB Blaster up there and let it soak for a little while. Keep in mind, they are HUGE bolts. Its gonna take over 100 lb/ft tq to break them loose most likely (and should be re-tightened as such). If you've got the right size wrench on it, dont be afraid to give it some serious muscle

 

yeah and watch out i got wet when I took mine out. Not sure exactly what is was, maybe mud i dont know.

 

only one of my bolts (pass rear) leaked rusty water like a *****. After i put the new one in it squeaked like crazy. save yourself the trouble and either slightly grease the threads or spray wd-40 up there before puttin the new bolt on (or both!). be sure to torque the new bolts down wayyy tight...roughly 100 lb ft, or as hard as you can crank with a normal 1/2" ratchet drive

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Does anyone know the bolt size, I have tried 3/4 inch, 19 and 17 mm, no luck moving these yet

 

hmm i cant quite remember. im pretty sure its metric. did you try 18mm?

 

I'm thinking mine was 11/16's or 18mm. Don't think it was metric tho cuz I ain't got many metric sockets. Find the socket that fits and put all the a** you got behind it or use a cheater bar but it'll come loose.
