sunday is my only day off from work and its the only time i can really do anything to my truck. today i went over to my cousins house to use the garage and to finally put my roll pan on which has been sitting in my basement for months. we got the rear bumper off no problem then after soaking the bolts that hold the bed on with pb we went at them with breaker bars,air tools and alot of curse words. guess what = we couldnt even budge them! we spent an hr or 2 and soaked them over and over with pb but we got no where! so pissed!!!! i had to put the bumper back on so now my plan is to go out there with a sawzall and get to work and just cut that bitch off. i have a buyer for it and he doesnt want the frame part so i might as well cut it off as best i can,but before i do that does anyone on here have any ideas on what else i can do to get those bolts out? when we used the breaker bar it would spin alittle but i think it was just stripping the bolt. anyone with roll pans on here,how did u get the bolts off?????????????????

 

when i say cut it off im talking about the black frame part that is wedged under the bed. if i just cut the frame part off id be able to bolt the roll pan right over it.

 

did you try heat? take a torch to the dam things. Good Luck

 

3/4 inch impact gun usually does the trick

 

Ahhh, lefty losey, righty tighty??
just joking....
If the impact doesn't do it. I just cut i'm off using a small circular grinder.

 

If you don't have any future use for it, just cut it off.

 

we had alota trouble with the locktite on my 08 when we did my leveling kit. took a torch and heated them up and the loctite just dripped right off and they came off no problem. i had a tube of loctite in the garage, so we locked them back on afterwards. i found a cordless impact, but that was about 2 weeks after the level kit install haha.

 

im just gonna cut off as much of it as i can and leave it bolted to the frame and lets just hope i dont ever need to put a bumper back on there,lol

 

you might regret just cutting it off. never know when you will want a bumper back on your truck

 

ya i agree 1^
