Maybe use some Liquid Wrench and try a longer extension to get more torque?

andrewtheg

what is liquid wrench

Shep 1.8T

it will effectively make your wrench like a foot or two longer (or however long your pipe is), and that means a lot more torque, to break the bolt loose.

moribundman

It helps with frozen nuts and bolts

could i get it at pep boys

moribundman

You bet they have it - it's just penetrating oil

And try to get a breaker bar. 3/8 breaker bar. Comes in real handy for breaking high torque bolts.

I couldn't get the engine mount bolt off, but a 25inch breaker bar did the trick with minimal effort.

break down rust or at least loosen it, an dget yourself a hammer(plastic weighted) and a screw driver and start going at it
