1998 pathfinder clutch job

Hey there, new to posting on here but have found many answers to the questions I would ask on here.
I am a fairly novice mechanic but jumped right into this. Having some trouble getting the bolts on the front driveshaft off, they must have been put on by the nissan gods. Any tips on how to break them loose, and any other tips on just making this job easier?

Hey and welcome to NICO Club!

Just the usual stuff. PB Blaster soaking, use 6 sided sockets (not 12 point) to avoid rounding off, use a breaker bar, use a hammer on the breaker bar for a quick blow to break the thing loose, keep the shaft from spinning while you wrench on it, torch rusty bolts (careful of wires, hoses, plastic, fuel tank, etc.). I have yet to use or need a torch successfully. Worst case, cut them off with a grinding wheel and replace them with new.

Thanks! Ended up give them a really good soak and needed a tryactin. Ended up using two wrenchs on each other to break them loose. Also I don't have access to a transmission jack, Is that gonna be a huge hassle or will a floor jack and careful planning work?
