You MUST know somebody with a portable compressor, and an air ratchet. Plus, NEVER use an open-end wrench on this area. Otherwise, you gotta grind-down, or saw-up the old bolts.

Best of luck!

tuff stuff... you could always grind them if nothing else, but what I did was soak them with wd40, with the car in gear and the parking brake on I fitted a wrench and hit with a hammer a BUNCH of times...

good luck


I need help bad!! I would like to drive my car again! I can't get the bolts off of the driveshaft to differential input flange. I've soaked several times with WD-40, and even let it sit soaked overnight...still no success...I'm trying to change my guibo. Anyone who has changed theirs lend any advice you can. THANKS!

Brian
