No prob Dan, _someone_ had to do the man’s work around there…

Can you get the socket on there and they’re just rusted on? Or are the bolts mangled too? 'Cause if it’s just the bolts rusted on, I say stop being a wuss, and or use a long chunk of pipe on a breaker bar. Heating them can affect other things if you don’t do it right. Just hose the shit out of it with penetrating oil, and put some muscle into it.
