I sprayed all my nuts and bolts down with PB Blaster every day for a week before changing my leafs, and it still took me hours beating on them with a 28V impact to get the u bolts off! Those things were STUBBORN! Glad to see you're getting them done!

It took 5 - 10 minutes of heating with a blow torch on each nut and bolt to get em off, except the driver side by the the gas tank, had to do it all man power their but it got done that week. I already gave er' hell!
