Okay.... hopefully this is the right place to post this..
Log story short i have been replacing parts that are worn or rust on my 08 X
My biggest problems have been getting bolts off or breaking some bc of rust/worn. Most I can fix or replace
HOWEVER
I cannot get my rear drive shaft bolt off to replace the CV joint ( I have a bad shake at 50+mph) already did u joints and this is my #1 i need to get done
the passenger side caliper mounting bolts just won't come off to replace the rotor
AND
the front sway bar bolts won't come out either ( i was replacing the sway link bars but the old links broke and i want to replace the bushing too) so its just there with out links and i think is causing a squeak noise
PLEASE
++I need some help getting them off, ++
I have tried heat
penetrating spray
leverage (probably not enough)
I would love some help with this as i am at my wits end getting frustrated... I can travel!! I have limited tools and probably not the greatest ones for bigger jobs
Your doing all the right things. Everyone is right a breaker bar would be your best bet. If you are using a 2/3 ton jack(shop jack) You should be able to use the handle for leverage. At least that’s what I do sometimes. Also what kind of heat are you using? Mapp? Home Depot sell a mini torch kit which work very well something like this. Saved quite a few times
