make sure to have a good bar to break them off, and use penetrationg oil, make sure to torq them out evenly so you dont rip the heads right off, the threads bond in there pretty good. Air tools would be a plus.

also, pics are old, brackets are back on and all is well.

Will def. drill out that bolt this summer, might not get to it for a few weeks.

 

DOH using only a wrench and penetrating oil I snapped the head off the one to the left of yours. Well looks like its time for a new bolt and a drill. Hopefully I wont snap any more.

 

I found a bar is helpfull, its not that hard to get on them with a wrench or socket, but you are more likely to get on them crooked and break them.

 

Change the diff fluid more often and you won't have that problem, lol.
