Why can't I get those bolts out...are they threaded in there? I can't turn them or tap them out. I tried PB blaster and a breaker bar when it was on the car...no luck.

Really just the one. That nut was missing and the thread's screwed up. I tried a few others to see if it was just the one, but they are all stubborn (do they not come out? I gett he impression it's not supposed to be disassembled...I couldn't find a part # for the nut). The end is all fubar, so I wanted to put the bolt in a vise to start the die (also, there's no room for the handle). I had to look high and low for a high grade M12x1.25 nut. Not exactly a common item.

Bingo, not meant really meant to come out. But yeah you should be able to disassemble the bugger if you really wanted to.

If ever in doubt, take a pipe and put that on your breaker bar. It's bound to bust that bolt out
