Hey guys I finally got into my friends garage to do the swap. I was working on it tonight and found that I couldn't get the nuts and bolts holding the drive shaft on to break loose. I've tried an air rachet and penatrating spray(WD-40). Does anybody have any suggestions on a better way to get these to come loose? :(

wd 40 isn't penetrating spray, get some PB blacster, hit it with a real impact wrench and if you have to heat it with a torch, but I have never had an issue with driveshaft bolts... how many ft/lbs revers is the impact? Mine is 650 and it will either remove the nuts or spin the bolts https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR

hey matt get something stronger than WD40, or break Free. also you might want to heat up the bolts before you try to remove them. try a propane torch, and while still warm, spray the bolts.......little plumbers trick.

I got them off yesterday. I just couldn't fit the impact gun in there. I had to go buy a universal joint. I was just checking to see if there was a different way to go about it. Thanks though.

i back the nuts on the Diff side with an open end wrench 14mm i think. and then run and extension with a universal on the side facing the front. How's it coming?
