are pissing me the holy f*** off swaping in a vlsd into my friends s13 hatch and we've gotten everything done except for the the driveshaft from the diff and i've tried everything i can possibly try to get these bolts offratchets wont fit so we have to use wrenches, its 4 14mm nuts n bolts we've tried loosening the nuts, nothing, tried loosening the bolt, nothing, tried loosening both at the same time, NOTHING!!!the bolts and nuts aren't stripped and nothing we've done can get them to move.

I've used a huge breaker bar, hammer, double wrench, two people, and nothing is workin.I dont have a torch and i dont have any lubricants and dont have money to buy either.

something has got to work i cant believe these goddamn bolts are on there so tightany advice?running out of day light....well actually its gone damn it got dark quick but i need to get this car off my driveway TONIGHT!

maybe some pb blaster. Let that sit for awhile or fork out the money for at least a propane torch.

You can get a Bern-Z-Omatic kit from autozone for under $20 bucks. The tip is what cost so much, after that replacement bottles are under $5. Also maybe try jacking up the car higher & using a cheater bar to lengthen the breaker bar.

Sorry, I know exactly how you feel. I had the same problem. What I had to do was get alot of blocks and jack up my car until the back was almost 2 feet off the ground, removed both rear tires and beat the s*** out of the bolts with a couple of closed end wrenches and hammer. It worked better for me to be coming from under the drivers side. Good luck!!

you can use a bolt splitter and cut them off..or break them off...then!..just replace them with new bolts..that is allways an option.

Got caught testing it out a little too much? As far as the heab bumps, if you walk away from the car without a bruise or cut you did it wrong.

In other word he got busted for DWA240 (Driving With A 240)That or Contemp of Cop if he mouthed off (or just thought about it)

Why were they looking in his wallet? They had no probable cause to do that. He can get out his ID for the headlight ticket.

If they took his wallet to get his ID without just asking him for it tell him to ask them where his $200 is. Thats why they tell you to get the ID out.

It's not a ninga star! it's a Plug gap tool! Car this old you are always working on it. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
