[Sour Grapes]

i cant get the bloody thing out. maybe im doing it wrong? i have everything needed apart, but i cannot for the life of me get the bolts loose on the front of the differential. I used an 18v impact, a 28v impact AND a pneumatic impact but it wouldnt budge. I then tried the old fashioned way, and nothing. I am stripping the heads and dont want to have to cut them out! Any suggestions?

truck is a 93 4.0L manual 2wd ext cab

thanks

Did you try heat (propane torch) and then use a cheater pipe over a box-end wrench?

There is Loctite on those bolts.

Box end wrench and a 3lb sledge. Gets the toughest of all bolts.

Try a torch like 'ol junkie suggested, as it'll burn up the loctite and make it easier.
